About

Experience the magic of the Kennet and Avon Canal by hiring a Bath Narrowboat. Hiring a day boat offers a great day out with family and friends, and with each boat holding between six and ten people, the experience also offers great value for money.

Bath Narrowboats offer the largest selection of day boats available on the Kennet and Avon Canal, with five boats to choose from. Opt to book a half day, a full day, lunch until evening in the summer, or even book a Bath Narrowboat for a stay in the city.

Bath Narrowboats offer a personalised service for those wishing to enjoy peace and tranquility. Relax and enjoy getting close to wildlife, country pubs, historic towns and the heritage of the canal system.

The boat yard has other facilities on offer, such as bicycle hire, electric day boat hire, mini narrowboat day hire, elegant skippered boat hire, canoe hire and a selection of gourmet hampers.

The truly delightful canal is one of Bath's best kept secrets. In the spring, the woods are full of kingcups and bluebells. There are flower-strewn water meadows in the summer. And later in the year, the colours of autumn are really brought to life on the canal. 

If you've never steered a boat before, worry not. Before you set off, you'll be given full instructions on the handling, features and safety of your craft.

So, why not hire a boat for a fantastic day afloat?
