Chas Hardern Boats is a family-run narrowboat hire company based at Beeston Castle Wharf, Tiverton, near Tarporley in Cheshire, on the Shropshire Union Canal.

Founded in 1971 or 1972 by Chas Hardern, it is one of the original family-run hire businesses on the canal network and remains in family hands today. The company operates a fleet of seven narrowboats ranging from 2 to 6 berths, suited to year-round cruising.

From Beeston, hirers can explore the Shropshire Union and Llangollen canals as well as adjoining waterways including the Staffs and Worcestershire Canal and the Four Counties Ring. The nearest mainline railway station is Crewe, approximately 13 miles away.
