AN EXITING NEW DEVELOPMENT
From autumn 2011, as new owners
of Excellence Afloat at Valley Cruises, David
and Geraldine Moore are looking forward to
continuing and building on the enviable
reputation for quality and service that sets us
apart and results in customers returning year
after year. We are looking forward to 2012, to
long summer days when we will be welcoming
excited guests ready to embark on a pristine
narrow boat for an unforgettable experience on
some of the country’s most beautiful canals.
For those who are interested in
boating history, Valley Cruises is now 26 years
old, originally with eight hire boats, based in
Atherstone on the Coventry Canal, relocating to
Springwood Haven six years ago. The fleet was
increased from eight to twelve boats following
this move, with the adoption of more modern
boats offering a variety of accommodation
options for our guests. From Springwood Haven
our guests can choose from routes including the
lock-free Ashby Canal to more demanding routes,
all described in detail elsewhere on this web
site.
Last year a second base was
established in historic Stratford upon Avon,
less than an hour from the canal basin at the
centre of Stratford town. From here you can
visit the wealth of shops, dine in the many
wonderful restaurants, enjoy the historically
rich walks or pay a magical visit to the Theatre
itself. You can choose either the stunning River
Avon or take the unique rural Stratford upon
Avon Canal.

Our new base at Valley Wharf also
offers everything the discerning boater might
require, including a shop and chandlery, a
modern workshop complete with knowledgeable and
helpful engineers, diesel, gas, water and
moorings for private boats. It also has its own
website at
http://www.valleyboatservices.co.uk |

We are proud of Valley Cruises’
reputation for quality, reliability and
excellence, with attention to detail second to
none. We want to give our guests an abundant
choice of boat types and layouts as well as a
range of alternative routes, but are determined
not to lose that personal feel that comes with a
family run company. We will personally guide our
guests from the very first enquiry by phone or
email, through the booking process, the tuition
on boat handling and finding out if they had a
good time aboard their chosen boat and what (if
anything) we can do even better. To assist us in
maintaining our high standards we have a small
but dedicated full time staff at both bases and
on a busy turn-around day, when the boats are
coming in and going out, they are supported by
up to twenty part time staff who help to make
sure each boat is perfect inside and out.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard
Excellence Afloat at Valley Cruises and hope
that you will enjoy our friendly and helpful
service, our presentation and quality, and that
you will come back to us for many years to come.
David and
Geraldine
