Kate Boats

Summer boating

Looks like a good place to be waking up on this glorious morning!

What if the only decision today was whether to moor at the pub or out in the countryside? If you fancy trying a boating holiday as part of this magic summer we still have availability, with some last minute reductions. Have a look at the website for details.

Be warned when you start feeding those cute little baby ducklings, they don't take long to turn into grown up ducks, that come to the office door and bully you for food!

Happy boating doggies

I'd rather be boating!

So this nice certificate arrived in the post this morning, thanks to all our customers that have left reviews.

Our new boat for 2018, 4/6 berth 70 footer, luxury cruising on the canals.

We've just finished our first trip with Kate Boats & absolutely loved it! Kids, grownups & dog all had a great time�

We spent 4 days on Charlotte in April ( it was very wet!!). I have been on the canals many times before but not with Kate Boats. Excellent service, the boat was first class, far better equipped than other companies boats. Would definitely use Kate Boats again

We have been using Kate Boats for our boat hire for many years now and can honestly say they have been the best.

We had an absolutely fabulous week onboard Jemima! The Warwickshire ring via the North Stratford was a good week cruising. Started tough with the Hatton Flight in pouring rain, but the weather increased (almost) every day

Even the lawn mower in Atherstone top lock didn't bother us

We sincerely hope to return some day for another week of cruising in a very good boat



On behalf of the crew, tnx!

Really lovely boat, fabulous part of the country, and great, friendly people to deal with. We'll certainly be hiring from you again.

Myself and siblings took our 90 year old mother for a birthday holiday on the Samuel James this last week and we have had a great time. The boat was perfect, well equipped with everything we could need and the staff at the boatyard were friendly and very helpful. It was such fun Mum wants to do it again next year! Roll on 91!

Lovely friendly people, so helpful and lots of hints where to moor and eat! We've just had a week in Georgina (w/c 18 June) and had such a great time on the Warwickshire ring up through Birmingham, under the M6 and back round past Tamworth, Coventry, Rugby in a week. It helped to have two adult offspring to do the locks but we made a great team and it was amazing to be together enjoying the beautiful countryside at a relaxing pace. Thank you so much, we will be back!

Lovely company to deal with. We hired Jim for 3 days, it was our first time hiring a narrow boat and from the first phone call to them, they couldn’t have been more helpful. Jim was immaculate when we got on board. The whole experience was a delight. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you.

Just had a week doing the Warwickshire Ring from the Kate boat base in Warwick. The boat was great, roomy for 6 adults and easy to handle with its good engine, no diesel smells or smoke. Staff at the yard were superb, despite having to deal with loads of punters and their cars at changeover. The boat that we had was Jenella.

Just got back from a week on Samuel James. 9 people and 2 dogs on board and we all loved it. The boat was well equipped and immaculate. We had an amazing experience and memories that will last a lifetime! Can't wait to do it again!

Just completed a week on Isabella navigating the Warwickshire Ring great boat great week making fantastic memories! Highly recommend thanks Kate Boats for your top class service �

Just back from a fantastic time on the Grand Union an' Oxford Canals in Kate's Boat's Martin.

The staff couldn't have been more helpful in their orientation of us.

We stopped at a couple of good pubs an' the rest of the time moored up in beautiful surroundings. We'll be back.

CHEERS !!
