About
Enjoy skippered trips along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal from Goytre Wharf, where the experienced and trained crew from the Monmouthshire, Brecon and Abergavenny Canal Trust takes you on a cruise. Visit our Boat Trips page for more information on when our boats are running.
For July 2025 we will be operating The Lord Raglan from 10:30am to 3:30pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The last trip will start at 3:00pm. Our smaller boat the Edith-Elizabeth may also be running.
We are a small local charity run by volunteers, dedicated to the protection, improvement, and restoration of the canal for the benefit of the local community. We run a "not-for-profit" Community Boats operation where any income over-and-above operating costs is reinvested into the education, restoration/regeneration, improvement, and promotion of the canal.
We are disability aware and dementia friendly. We will endeavour to assist wherever we can. If you will need assistance please let us know in advance. We are there to help you enjoy our cruise.
If you wish to find out more on why we run trip boats then our Why do we run our Boats page can give you some background information.
