About Sileby Mill Boatyard

Sileby Mill Boatyard is an independent family run business established in 1985 on the site of a watermill dating back to the 9th century A.D. The mill, now a residential building, still retains the original wheel chamber and fittings. The boatyard was set up in its current form in 1985, and has evolved much since then, the current owners celebrating 22 years of service this year. We offer a full range of boatyard services including day hire on our purpose built all weather narrowboats, a well stocked chandlery, moorings, and a busy slipway and servicing division.

Where are we?

Sileby Mill is situated on the beautiful and rural River Soar, part of the Grand Union Canal. From here you have a choice of routes with a surprising variety of scenery.
