ABC Leisure Group is a reputable brand with over 45 years of experience in building and operating a hire fleet, as well as providing full marina services to canal users. What sets us apart is our ownership and operation of 18 strategically placed marinas and a boat building operation, enabling us to personally offer a wide range of services for canal boats throughout their entire lifespan. Our diverse portfolio includes 16 locations for hiring canal boats, giving access to the canal network in England, Scotland, and Wales.

We also offer services such as leisure boating holidays, day boat hire, cottage holidays, caravan parks, boat building, boat management, and boat sales. With our own dry docks, cranes, gas safe engineers, and well-stocked chandlery, we can handle any job, big or small. Our boatbuilding operation crafts bespoke high-quality narrowboats, and we have award-winning pubs and restaurants at some of our marinas.

At ABC Leisure Group, our mission is to help customers escape to a slower pace of life on or near the inland waterways. With our dedicated team and range of brands, including ABC Boat Hire, Alvechurch Boat Centres, Viking Afloat, and more, we strive to provide exceptional experiences for canal boat enthusiasts.
