General information
Company Overview
Welcome to the Canalboat Holidays.
We provide wonderful and relaxing canal boat holidays exploring the beautiful British countryside.
With our associated holiday fleets we have over 200 boats available for groups as small as 2 and as large as 12. We operate from 11 locations offering you greater flexibility and a wider choice of routes.
Our Services
We can offer advice and information on planning your route and offer you routes to choose from. You don´t need any previous experience to hire a canal boat and we can also provide advice on handling your boats, locks, and anything other information that you may need to know to feel confident on the water.
If you are interested in training to get the most out of your canal boat holidays we also offer a RYA Inland Helmsmans course to teach or improve your boat handling skills. Courses are often held at the ABC Boat Hire Alvechurch Marina base in the Midlands, but other locations may also be available.
