WE ARE a small family business, long-time canal enthusiasts and for over twenty years have operated all-steel narrowboats on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. Our boats are designed by ourselves with special features to give easy handling on the shallow water of this canal.
OUR AIM is to offer well-maintained and comfortable boats at a reasonable priice. All boats are of all-steel construction with fully insulated and lined cabins for comfort in all weathers. Each is powered by a quiet inboard diesel engine which also charges batteries for lighting and services. Hot and cold water is supplied to the galley, washbasin and shower. Interior
 
Bunk beds		 Boats range is size from 32ft to 42ft and offer a flexible range of accommodation plans sleeping from 2 to 6 people. They are fully equipped with all domestic and cruising equipment and bed linen.

All our boats have full radiator central heating and radio/stereo units.
 
We are very happy to talk to you about either our boats or the canal. If you would like more information, please do contact us. We assure you of our closest attention and any help you need, particularly if canal boating is new to you.

We are situated approximately mid-way along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal about four miles  west of Abergavenny. Much of the canal lies within the outstanding scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park, whilst here to the west of us in Gilwern is the Blorenge and Clydach Gorge, setting of Alexander Cordell's "Rape of the Fair Country", steeped in the history of forges, furnaces and tramways from the early days of iron-making.
