About our boats

Alvechurch is unusual among hire companies in that not only do we fit out all our boats but we also fabricate our own steel hulls and superstructures. This along with the fact that we submit our boats for independent inspection by Visit Britain (the Tourist Board) each year, helps us ensure quality is maintained.
