🔧 Maintenance Monday – Check Your Engine Oil

A quick engine oil check before setting off can make a big difference to your cruising season 💙

Keeping an eye on your oil levels helps your engine run smoothly and can give early warning signs if something isn’t quite right. Low oil, unusual colour changes, or strong smells are all worth investigating sooner rather than later.

The good news? It only takes a few minutes and could help prevent much bigger problems down the line. Check out our Engine Maintenance page (https://calcuttboats.com/engine-maintenance/) for more information or pop into our on-site chandlery to pick up any extra oil you may require.

✨ A little routine maintenance goes a long way towards stress-free cruising.

☀️🚤 The Perfect Gongoozling Spot 🚤☀️

There are few better places to sit back and watch the world float by than the deck overlooking Calcutt Locks 💙

Boats navigating the locks, happy holidaymakers setting off on adventures, wildlife drifting past… there’s always something to see.

Why not pop into the chandlery for an ice cream 🍦 or grab a coffee ☕ and enjoy a little canalside people-watching?

After all, gongoozling is an important part of canal life too 😄

🌿🦋 Wildlife Wednesday – Fantastic Flora & Fauna 🐝🌼

Here at Calcutt Boats, we’re incredibly lucky to be surrounded by beautiful countryside and an abundance of wildlife that helps support pollination and biodiversity 💚

From colourful wildflowers and buzzing bees to butterflies, birds and waterside greenery, there’s always something special to spot around the marina at this time of year.

Here are just a few examples captured around Calcutt today 🌿✨

🔒 Share the Lock, Share the Stories🚤

If another boat is heading your way, why not share the lock?
It saves water, saves time, and often leads to some great conversations along the way 💙
One of the joys of canal life is the people you meet — and lock sides are often where the best stories are shared.

✨ The waterways move better when we work together.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Ann Rosemary Preen on Friday 5th May.

Rosemary was not only a much-loved wife, mother, grandmother, and matriarch of the Preen family, but also a founder and director of Calcutt Boats. Alongside Roger, she helped build the business over the past fifty years with dedication, strength, kindness, and determination. Her warmth and generosity touched so many people, and her contribution to both the family and the business leaves a legacy that will not be forgotten.

For Roger, the loss is immeasurable. They built a life and business together side by side, remaining inseparable throughout their journey.

We would like to thank everyone for the kindness, support, and understanding shown to the family during this difficult time.

Today we celebrate Rosemary’s life with a church service be held at St Lawrence Church, Napton, on Friday 5th June at 1:00pm. Anyone who knew Rosemary and wishes to pay their respects is welcome to attend.
