Andersen Boats is a family-run narrowboat hire company based at The Boatyard, Wych House Lane, in Middlewich, Cheshire, situated on the Trent and Mersey Canal.

Middlewich is a notable junction where the Trent and Mersey meets the Shropshire Union (Middlewich Branch) and the short Wardle Branch, giving hirers straightforward access to a wide range of cruising routes across England and Wales.

The company operates a boutique fleet of narrowboats and has been in business for over 50 years, with Norwegian craftsmanship cited as a hallmark of its vessels.

Popular routes from this base include the Cheshire Ring, which takes in the Macclesfield, Bridgewater, Rochdale, Ashton, and Peak Forest Canals, as well as the Llangollen Canal and trips past landmarks such as the Anderton Boat Lift.
