Aqua Narrowboats

Aqua Narrowboats is a family company specialising in Private Bespoke Boat Building and luxury canal boat hire & holidays established in 2004. As of 2018 our hire boats are based at Barton Turns Marina, on the Trent and Mersey Canal in Staffordshire. This site is unstaffed except on Turnaround days, therefore please contact our Head Office at Mercia Marina in Derbyshire (we do not have any hire boats at Mercia Marina). From our hire base at Barton Turns there is a range of canal networks for you to enjoy your narrowboat holiday including the Four Counties Ring, the Staffordshire Ring, the Leicester Ring, plus many there and back routes. We are just a 3.5 hour trip to Fradley Junction and a 10 hour cruise to Great Haywood Junction, these main canal junctions mean that lots of route options are within easy reach. All our boats are rated at 5 stars by Visit Britain. The canal boats are replaced every 4 to 5 years for the best possible customer experience.

My 11 year old son Sam & I flew with Mike today, a gift for Sam who is keen to learn to fly. Mike was brilliant with him, giving him lots of information about the pre flight checks & instruments etc. (Unfortunately my youngest son decided instantly it wasn’t for him before we even set off & Mike was extremely patient whilst we removed him!) Mike allowed Sam to take the controls & fly for a good amount of the flight which he loved. He is a very calm & knowledgeable instructor and made a great experience even more so. Sam’s dream of joining the RAF has been heightened and we hope he will fly again soon & aim for official lessons. We will certainly be requesting Mike again and can’t recommend him highly enough. A great experience. Thanks Mike!

Fradley Junction

Reviewed By PammyPeakDistrict - Peak District, United Kingdom

During school holidays I have visited Fradley Junction on several occasions as it had such a lovely atmosphere and at the point where the Trent and Mersey joins to Coventry canal. Parking is just £1.50 for the day and we have mixed it between taking a picnic and also eating at the caravan site tearoom as the food there is highly recommended and staff are very efficient, friendly and helpful.

We visited The Pavilion for our annual Christmas Party Night and once again it was amazing! The show was great, excellent customer service and all of our dietary requirements were catered for. Nothing was too much trouble. I don’t want to wish the year away but we can’t wait for the 2020 show!
