Directions and Arrival Instructions

For trips on Dawn, passengers board at Colt Hill on the Basingstoke Canal at Odiham in Hampshire (see directions below).  For holidays on Madam Butterfly, joining instructions will be sent to you by Galleon Marine.


To get to Colt Hill Wharf, follow directions to Galleon Marine, postcode RG29 1AL. This will take you along London Road, Odiham, which is a no through road.  Continue along London Road, passing the entrance to Galleon Marine boatyard on your right, and the Waterwitch public house on your left.  Continue across the bridge over the canal to the end of the road, where the entrance to the car park will be on your right. Please park in the car park and make your way to the wharf.


If your vehicle is over 2m high, please contact the crew using the mobile number provided with your final trip instructions to ask them to open the barrier.


If required, vehicles can be driven onto the wharf for loading and unloading of passengers and luggage, before parking in the car park.  Please contact the crew who will give you directions.
