Crick – the home of the famous Crick Boat Show – is Aquavista’s latest marina to announce the launch of official residential moorings. Crick Waterside & Marina located on the Leicester section of the Grand Union canal is a spacious marina with two basins offering 270 moorings for narrowboats and cruisers of all lengths.
Aquavista’s residential mooring package includes a bunch of fantastic benefits including a registered UK postal address and post box, a 2000L Keter storage box, a free weekly wash & dry per week, a free pump out every month and access to discounts on high street brands and supermarkets through their Moor Benefits scheme.
During 2024, Crick saw investment in its facilities including new Wi-Fi, upgraded CCTV, new main entrance gate, new laundry facility and a new community outside social space. And investment continues this year with the refurbishment of the showers and toilets to provide new luxury ensuite bathrooms and a dog shower facility.
With its calm waters and green fields, Crick marina has a peaceful country retreat feel but is still close enough to all the action. You’ll find Crick village just a short walk away from the marina. It’s got everything you need – there’s three pubs, a café, a doctor’s surgery, post office and hairdressers. The marina is just a few miles from Junction 18 of the M1 and a short car journey into Rugby with loads of shops bars and restaurants to explore, whilst Northampton is just a half hour drive away.
There are 21 miles of lock free cruising on your doorstep so you’re perfectly placed for new adventures, and with Aquavista’s EXPLORE 100 benefit, moorers can visit other Aquavista marinas for up to 100 nights for free (subject to availability).
Crick Waterside & Marina is also home to the Crick Boat Show, the largest inland waterways event on the boating calendar. Taking place on the second May bank holiday weekend, Aquavista are sponsoring the main music stage again this year and are hosting their Tillards & Tankards Festival by the quayside for some informative boating talks in the morning and live music in the afternoons. It’s a great chance for anyone new to boating to discover the best of waterside life, meet the team and explore the marina and its facilities.
