Such services are available all over.
No 'driving licence' required! Most services will give an hour or so's tuition to start you off.
Just Google the area/canal you favour and there'll be online info abounding!
Longboats on canals are maybe the most popular, or (which we favour) 2/4 berth riverboats on, for instance, the Norfolk Broads, Thames, etc.

Enjoy!
