Diesel Boats - Canal Holiday Wales

A look at our Diesel Narrowboats

Named after some of Wales’ most spectacular castles, our holiday hire narrowboats offer a choice of sizes, number of berths and even propulsion. Castle Narrowboats have operated both diesel narrowboats and electric narrowboats for over 20 years.

Each boat has full central heating, LCD television and DVD, radio/CD. In the well equipped galley you will find a full size cooker, fridge, microwave and toaster. Freshly Laundered bed linen is provided and there is a 240v power supply for running low wattage items. Check the full inventory.

Our boats are thoroughly cleaned and maintained to an exceptionally high standard before you arrive to ensure you enjoy your holiday. They are perfectly sized for exploring this winding canal with cruiser sterns for easy access.

A comprehensive briefing is always provided and we will take time to make sure you are happy before we leave you.
