Warwickshire Narrowboat Hire is a family‑run business dedicated to delivering the very best canal boat holiday experience. With team members bringing over 50 years of expertise in narrowboat holidays and hire‑fleet management, you can expect knowledgeable support from the moment you arrive.
Thanks to our experienced staff, excellent locations, and commitment to customer care, we’re confident you’ll love your time on the water with us. If you’re new to canal boating, you’ll be in safe hands — every guest receives comprehensive, easy‑to‑follow training in line with the Canal & River Trust handover procedure. Our priority is simple: to help you relax, enjoy your break, and create a holiday to remember.
We offer a unique way to explore Britain’s beautiful countryside, operating from two bases on the famous Warwickshire Ring: Lyons Boatyard on the North Stratford Canal and our head office in the heart of Warwick on the Grand Union Canal. Our luxury narrowboats are known for their modern, elegant design and are built to the highest standards for comfort and enjoyment.
Become the captain of your own adventure as you wake up to a new view each morning, cruise past iconic landmarks, and unwind with friends and family. With flexible options — from three‑night short breaks to holidays of three weeks or more — you can choose the getaway that suits you. All boats are fully heated for year‑round cruising, including festive winter trips, and sleep up to seven people.
No previous experience is required. On arrival, our team will guide you through everything you need to know: operating the boat, navigating locks, tunnels, and aqueducts, plus tips on the best places to moor and eat. For added peace of mind, we also provide a 24‑hour emergency phone line with free call‑out support.
