Aqua Narrowboats
Welcome to Aqua Narrowboats, specialists in narrowboat holidays and bespoke boat builds.
A company concentrating on growing British talent and skills to produce beautifully crafted narrowboats and offering the most luxurious narrowboat holidays on the canals.
We specialise in a personal service: a custom made boat package, with all costs and optional extras given in our brochure, to a layout and design of your choice. This enables you to think about your boat design and prioritise features to fit your budget. In our brochure and on the gallery page, our previous customers have given you their design tips and explained their choices.
Our luxurious fleet of hire narrowboats is almost entirely owned by sponsored boat owners who have requested high specification boats for their own personal use, therefore you are able to hire the most beautiful boats on the canals. We have a range of canal networks for you to enjoy your narrowboat holiday including the Four Counties Ring, the Black Country Ring, the Leicester Ring, plus many there and back routes. The canals have many attractions and places to eat along the way making your narrowboat hire experience an adventure. Checkout our routes page for more details on places to visit.
