For some reason despite not owning one I have alot of interaction with Canal Boaters.

They are always interested in information about places and services along canals and I was trying to think of the best way of explaining how the contribute and use Openstreetmap

Of course contributing is easy - I just recommend mapcomplete.org, everydoor app, and street complete (less so as its road related)

And then I recommend an App like OSMAnd to use Openstreetmap - But for Canal Boaters specifically - Is there any way they could use layers or searches, any tips, tricks or Apps specifically get information that would be useful for them or be useful if in a canal boat?

    If you have a lot of interactions with canal boaters, it might be interesting to create one or more custom layers in mapcomplete. Give MapComplete Studio a shot (but keep in mind that it is not exactly user friendly, let me know where you get stuck and I'll try to fix it).

    If you have created one or a few layers you like, let me know and I might include them in the production version of MapComplete.

      Ah so I started with this and got stuck. I was struggling adding existing layers which already had relevant features.

      Maybe we could chat and see if I can have another go.
