Choosing an electric narrowboat means choosing a quieter, more peaceful experience on the water. With the gentle hum of an electric motor, you can truly enjoy the sounds of nature – birdsong, the soft ripple of water, and the whisper of the breeze through the trees. Our hirers frequently tell us just how quiet and serene these boats are, and how much more connected they feel to the natural surroundings.

The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal offers a scenic escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life, and our electric narrowboats allow you to enjoy this beauty in harmony with the environment. If you’re looking to minimise your environmental impact and enjoy a more mindful, eco-conscious holiday, our electric boats are the ideal choice.

Worried about charging? Rest assured, it’s incredibly easy. You won’t need to recharge your electric narrowboat every day, but when you do, just pull up to one of our six dedicated charging points located at convenient spots along the canal. These reserved moorings are strategically placed near popular stopping points and amenities, so you can enjoy local attractions, dining, or a peaceful walk while your boat recharges.

To charge, simply plug in and switch on – it’s as easy as that. This straightforward process makes it hassle-free to keep your electric narrowboat powered, allowing you to relax and focus on your holiday.
