NB Vulcan is a 60ft Semi Trad steel narrowboat, owned jointly by members of the Vulcan Owners Association. We are a self-managed syndicate who enjoy sharing our beautiful boat, and looking after her.


Built in 2000, by GT Narrowboats, and fitted out to an excellent standard by Nimbus Narrowboats. Originally commissioned by Challenger Boats, she was purchased by a group of owners on 13th January 2008. Some of these owners are still with us.


Currently based on the Oxford Canal (Northern Section). We move bases every few years depending on the owners wishes.
