The Hamilton Canal (also known as the Dutch Canal) is a 14.5 km (9.0 mi) canal in Sri Lanka that connects Puttalam to Colombo through Negombo. The canal was built by the British in 1802 and finished in 1804. Its purpose was to remove saline water from the Muthurajawela marshes. Gavin Hamilton, the Government Agent of Revenue and Commerce, inspired the canal's name.

Insurance details

- KaterBlue ensures that all boats available for rent are insured by their respective owners. We strongly advise securing Travel Insurance to protect against any incidents or losses occurring off the boat. While the boat owners provide insurance for their boats, yachts, crew, and guests against fire, collisions, and other marine accidents, the guests are accountable for protecting their valuables during the tour. Should they prefer, guests may hand over their valuable items to the boat captain for safekeeping. In the event of an accident or disaster, it is the responsibility of the boat captains to promptly inform KaterBlue or its representative. If the boat owners have not completed the necessary insurance arrangements, they will be held fully accountable. Charterers and guests who wish to engage in water sports do so at their own risk and should ensure they have their own insurance coverage.
