Narrowboat hire in the Heart of England. Rent a canal boat and experience the magic of the English Canals.
Welcome to Kate Boats Narrowboat Hire. We are a family owned business with self drive narrowboats for weekends and short breaks, and week long holidays from both bases, and also have boats available for longer hire periods.
Narrowboat hire gives you all the comforts of home while you escape to the heart of the countryside
This is not camping on water, the boats come equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday afloat, fully equipped galley (including fridge and 4 hob gas cooker), a bathroom with a flushing toilet, and a shower, plenty of hot water, central heating and a TV for the days you need to catch up with the real world! Don’t forget with narrowboat hire the boat is the holiday, you don’t need to allow for those expensive days out during the week! Our quoted prices INCLUDE diesel and damage waiver (and linen and car parking) – if you are comparing prices with other narrowboat holiday firms make sure you compare like for like!
Star ratings for each narrowboat are displayed on the relevant pages, and online availability and reservation is now also a feature, but please feel free to phone or email if you would like to discuss your canal holiday plans.
Narrowboat holidays are great holidays for dogs
Dogs and canals go together, the dogs can just be part of the holiday. We have our own dogs and are well aware of the scenario when you are on a self catering holiday and go out for the day. You spend lots of time worrying about where you can stop, will the dogs be able to get out, you want to have a look at something and it is too hot for the dogs to stop in the car – is this familiar? On the boat you can just relax and know they are ok, apart from the odd unintentional swim!
