Boat licence fees on UK canals and rivers will rise 4.85% in April 2026, affecting both private owners and businesses, to offset inflation and declining government funding.
The increase supports maintenance, the Better Boating Plan, and ongoing efforts to combat licence evasion, which reached 14.1% by September, costing over £5 million annually.
Surcharges for boats without a home mooring and wide-beam vessels will continue, with the latter starting in January 2026.
An online calculator will launch by late November.
Support options, including payment plans and benefits referrals, remain available.
Gold Licence details will be announced later.
