Canal Boat Hire 2012

Well we’ve not even finished the 2011 season and we’re already receiving enquiries regarding canal boat holidays for the 2012 season! Hopefully that’s a good sign for the hire boat industry next year. Unlike some fleets we have had another good season this year at over 80% occupancy so far - although bookings have definitely been later than usual. 

 Our 2011 prices are being held for 2012 if booking before the end of October, so book early to avoid the price rise!
If you’re thinking of getting a way this year we only have the following weeks available:
Aqua Jeta – 1 week in October
Aqua Leven – 2 weeks in October
Aqua Vita – Short break in September & 2 weeks in October
Aqua Vie – 2 weeks in October
Aqua Bywyd – 1 week in September (price reduced) 
(As of the 22nd August – Check out our online booking system for the very latest hire boat availability)
Hope to welcome you on board one of our luxury canal boats soon!
Justin, Jane & Team

Aqua Bywyd Complete

Aqua Bywyd was launched a few weeks ago and here are a few photos of the completed boat. Bywyd is our fifth hire boat and the forth Sponsored boat in the fleet. Graham & Lynn the owners are thrilled to bits with her and managed to take her out for a few days on a maiden voyage before the scratches and scrapes are added!
