I am interested in owning and hiring a narrowboat.

We arrange boat 'sponsorship', whereby you own a narrowboat in the UK Boat Hire fleet which has been built by us. We will include your boat in our UK Boat Hire brochure and on our numerous websites to assist your marketing, and record and administer the bookings for you. Our marinas will carry out the day to day cleaning and maintenance of the boat, and will instruct your customers at the start of each holiday. We will also provide a 24hr emergency helpline. Contact 0121 445 7485 for more information.
