"This new technology means we can charge our boats overnight and they can run all day - powered by the sun - to give visitors of all ages an experience to remember, all powered by renewable energy. "The view of Warwick Castle from the river is breath-taking, and really gives you a feel for the size and grandeur of this magnificent structure, so whether it's on board one of our electric boats, or on a swan or dragon, we look forward to welcoming people for a unique experience this summer."

Warwick Boats also provides: canoe and kayak courses and birthday parties for children and adults, dragon boat racing for youth and corporate groups, as well as exclusive evening parties with the boats included.

Warwick Boats is open from Easter to October for courses and boat hire, with boats available to hire from 10am to 5.30pm every day of the summer (subject to the weather) and can be pre-booked online at: www.warwickboats.co.uk [4][5]
