Our Luxury narrowboats

Introducing Cafwin Cruises 5* Luxury

Cafwin Cruises is a company with a difference. You won’t find any over-priced, battered, drab, dark, uncomfortable, diesel and oil fumed barges here.  Instead cruising with Cafwin on her 5* rated 57 ft boat, Arthur Owl, and his new 5* rated  58.6 ft ft Electric-Hybrid brother, Ollie Owl, will be akin to walking into an immaculate and quaint boutique hotel.  

Cafwin Cruises really understands the needs of the modern-day boater and their first boat, Arthur Owl, was bespoke built to a  level rarely, if ever, found in hire boats and he truly reflects contemporary and luxurious comfort on the water.

Ollie Owl has gone a step beyond his older brother.  A serial electric hybrid narrowboat, built by the renown Ortomarine who specialise in electric propulsion, Ollie Owl features all-electric propulsion for near-silent cruising, combined with an efficient onboard generator, plus 1.6kW of solar power to enable recharging of the high capacity battery bank, without the need to connect to shore power.  To our knowledge, Ollie Owl was the first Serial Electric Hybrid Narrowboat available for hire on the English canal network and he has been exceptionally popular with our eco-friendly guests.
