Welcome to Electra, the all-electric 12-seater canal trip boat run by volunteers in Milton Keynes. Enjoy Milton Keynes’ best-kept leisure secret! Our peaceful cruises on the Grand Union Canal run from mid-April to mid-December. You’ll see parts of Milton Keynes you have never seen before through Electra’s picture windows. You’ll be eye to eye with swans, herons and even the odd kingfisher. Stand in the bow and enjoy the breeze on a warm summer’s day, or watch as leaves start to colour in autumn. Make sure you have your camera in hand as we glide through parkland, past waterside art, alongside local wildlife, and all sorts of canal users. Step aboard for a relaxing cruise on the Grand Union canal and get a whole new view of the city. Treat yourself to a food cruise. Or combine a cruise with a walk or a visit to a waterside pub. Electra makes a perfect day out with family, friends, or colleagues. It's great for celebrations too. Choose a public cruise or book a private group charter. Cruises through the summer and autumn up to December. With over 300 cruises to choose from, there's something for everyone. Food cruises, charter cruises, and half-day cruises are all booking up well ahead, so be sure to book early to get the date and cruise you'd like! We look forward to welcoming you on board this season.
