Since our establishment in 1986 we have been at the forefront in the design and quality of luxury canal holiday narrowboats, setting the standards for other canal holidays firms to follow. Following the same ethos we have developed our boat yard services at Stratford-upon-Avon to include all engineering and chandlery services. Details of which are available here.
