Cambrian Cruisers was established in 1988 by Ruth and Peter Griffiths. I am Jonathan their younger son and from the very beginning, at the age of twelve I used to help out a lot and was very keen to show off my canal boat handling skills, sometimes with embarrassing consequences! Twenty years on I have now taken over this Brecon canal boat hire business and run it with my wife Camilla and have lots of 'help' from our 3 young children.
We are incredibly proud to say that all our hire boats are built here at Cambrian Cruisers. We are committed to the whole process, from the initial design, layout and dimensions, negotiating the delivery of the hull, to the finer details such as choice of splashbacks and upholstery. We take great care, many hours of deliberating, channelling ideas and learning from our mistakes.
Use our 360° Interactive Map to view the boats and immerse yourself in the stunning countryside. Our luxury holiday canal boats are specifically designed to operate on the Mon and Brec Canal and are easy to handle. During our comprehensive hand-over procedure we demonstrate how everything operates on the canal boat and explain the principles of boat handling on our Wales canal boat holidays.
Our boats are all built to a very high standard and offer extremely comfortable accommodation. They are well-appointed modern and reliable boats, with a very comprehensive inventory, all providing excellent value for money. Our prices are fully inclusive and you can be quite sure that there are no hidden extras to worry about.
The pace of your Brecon canal holiday in Wales is entirely up to you. You can walk to the village for morning papers and set off after breakfast, or move off through the early morning mist with a bacon sandwich and take in a few locks before a pint and lunch in a canal side pub garden.
Or just enjoy being lured along this lovely winding and meandering waterway, admiring the views and thinking about your evening mooring place, watching the sunset and listening to the magical sounds of the birds and sheep around you, and not a human in sight!

Cambrian Cruisers are hands-down the best canal boat company we have ever hired from. The boats are lovely - modern and clean, and the help and advice we got from Jonathan (and Dave!) was amazing - everyone was really friendly and welcoming. We'll be back again, also because the Mon and Brec is also an amazingly beautiful place to spend a holiday!

One of the best hire cruise companies we have used. The whole experience could not be faulted. They have many boats to get prepared and out but even so we never felt rushed or pressured. The boat was great with two bathrooms and two bedrooms and i still cant work out how it all fitted in to a 55ft er.
