Canal boat hire – the relaxed way to see the very best of the Abergavenny countryside
From a day trip on a mini-cruiser to a week on a luxury narrow boat (with log fires, hot tubs and four-poster beds!), Beacon Park Boats offer canal holidays that combine ‘mod cons’ and superb local scenery.
The waterways around Abergavenny are among the best in the UK, enjoying mile after mile of unspoilt countryside, and for the best boat hire you need look no further than Beacon Park Boats. Choose from ten expertly maintained narrow boats available for long weekends, midweek breaks, and full week holiday hire, in a variety of sizes to accommodate from 2 up to 7 people in comfort.
All of the narrow boats at our boathouse in Llanfoist, Abergavenny, feature a large ‘cruiser style’ open back, so the helmsman needn’t sit in the usual solitude, as well as central heating, picture windows, modern kitchens and shower rooms. For a truly decadent boat hire experience we even have a full size hot tub, log fire and a four-poster bed our newest boat – canal holidays don’t have to mean ‘back to basics’!
A boat holiday on the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal is ideal for first timers or experienced navigators: from Llanfoist on the edge of Abergavenny you can visit the charming villages of Llangynidr and Talybont, Brecon or Gilwern. The canal is set entirely within the splendour of the Brecon Beacons National park, and features one of the longest lock-free stretches in the UK – over 22 miles of stress-free travel. And if you need support, we are never more than an hour away. We also hire easy-to-drive day boats (mini cabin cruisers) for up to 8 people, powered by clean, quiet electric engines.
Whether for a day trip or a longer canal holiday, all boat hire customers are given a full instruction and safety handover at the start, as approved by the British Marine Federation. On your return we invite you to relax with refreshments at our wharf.
