Alvechurch Boat Centres

We have a range of boats from the 47 foot Weaver suitable for 2-4 people, or the 70 foot Swan suitable for up to 12.

Boats are available for full weeks start on Saturdays or Sundays. Short breaks start on either Monday to Friday or a Friday to Monday. Boats available for short breaks are also available for weekly or 10/11 night hire.

We carry out a detailed inspection of our fleet annually and have an ongoing boat replacement program. This ensures quality is maintained and that you will have the range of facilities and equipment you expect of a modern holiday narrowboat.
