Marsden Shuttle

The 12 seater ‘Marsden Shuttle’ boats run between Marsden Station and Tunnel End Cottages from early spring until the end of October each year and is operated by volunteers. In the summer we try to run it every day.

Volunteers undergo a programme of training and, if they wish, have the opportunity to train for a Certificate of Community Boat Management and become an authorised skipper for the Shuttle.

Please contact boating@huddersfieldcanal.org.uk if you are interested in helping to crew our boats!

For information about boat trips, please see this page.
