Dragonfly cruises and dayboats

What do you do on a rainy day in Brecon?….go on a cruise down the River Usk and I’m so glad we did. The trip was beautiful, the crew were brilliant. But a big thank you to Tim for letting us stand with him while he steered us through the lock..a wonderful experience.

Hired a small boat for a couple of hours - me hubby and Stan the bc . Lovely friendly helpful guys , boat great and easy to drive and had a lovely chug along the canal to the Brynich Lock and back . Took a picnic and a beer and throughly enjoyed the whole experience . Very highly recommended . Thanks guys .

Great value and what a laugh. A boat for 8 people (and a dog) and £60 for a 3hr chug down the canal. Took a picnic and ate round the table on the boat. The rain didn't stop the fun! We loved it and we'll be back!

Booked on the day boat hire for two of us with two dogs. Amazing experience as we had never driven a boat before but it was easy to manage once you get the hang of the steering. The staff were helpful and friendly; Great experience along an idyllic stretch of the River Usk.

Fabulous trip today . The group all had a great time, we were even lucky with the weather!! Really interesting and the afternoon tea was delicious. We will certainly recommend and come back . Thank you .

Nice sedate 2 1/2 hour ride with a lock included. Friendly staff, very reasonably priced snacks/tea etc, lovely fruit cake! Worth a trip.

Went on cruise June 2023 for my 70th birthday. Took bottle of wine with us. Wonderful relaxing afternoon. Must book to go again soon. Highly recommended.

Simply wonderful, we hired a boad for a few hours and really enjoyed it, so did our dogs. well recommend. Everyone was really lovely and helpful.

Booked as a surprise birthday treat for me on the hottest September 2023 day of the year. All my family loved the day and the dog gave a complementary 'woof'
Staff were excellent and attentive during the trip along a beautiful stretch of the canal, even travelling through a lock!
Excellent value for money. Would thoroughly recommend.

Something very different to do... canal boat trip. Definitely recommended for the experience if anything. 2.5 hours in total exploring the canal whilst relaxing and to have snacks on which are available to purchase onboard. There is a small toilet in there aswell, suitable for wheelchairs, babies and children to.

The staff - Tim & Ellie were fantastic. Both bubbly and happy people who made the trip even better by being helpful & upbeat at all times.

Thankyou!

Really pleasant trip along the Brecon Canal waterways.i thought it was really good value and an excellent thing to do with the family. The trip was about just over two and a half hours. There's an opportunity for you to get off and stretch you legs halfway while they turn the canal boat around or you can stay onboard. They offer teas, coffees, biscuits and crisps etc on board but people where also bringing picnics onboard which was nice. The guys running it were all helpful and very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful day out.

Most enjoyable cruise with very helpful crew. Access is down a few quite steep steps but good strong handrails and crew. Wished it was longer.

Amazing boat ride! We had a self hire boat for 6 people. It was a lovely 3 hour cruise up and down brecon canal, with beautiful views. Book the 3 hour cruise. Great customer service from Mike the owner.

Great guys, friendly, polite. lovely couple of hrs trip, lovely views.

Great trip lovely friendly staff well managed and catered for.

Lovely day out on the canal,great boat ride peaceful and tranquil definitely recommend for a day out ..

A wonderful way to while away a couple of hours. A very relaxing journey down the canal. An informative audio description of the canal and its history runs as you set off down the canal towards the lock. Take a picnic and enjoy the scenery whilst you eat your lunch. If you are lucky you will see some dragonflies too, we saw four. What a treat.

Fun trip on a day boat at short notice.
Grand kids loved it.

Great way to spend 2.5 hours for a good rate.
Friendly staff with inexpensive snacks and refreshments on board.

Friendly staff, easy and relaxed boat ride. A different approach to Brecon canals
