About us.

Jennifer’s Travels specialises in short term barge hire along the River Barrow and the Grand Canal.

We are a friendly family run operation well established at our base in Bell Harbour in the centre of Monasterevin town. Monasterevin is halfway along the canal link between the River Barrow and the Grand Canal mainline, which makes us ideal if you wish explore either or both waterway systems.

Being a smaller family operation and boaters ourselves we can take the time to help you plan your break in advance and can offer advice should you wish it. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a personal service, and promise to reply to your communications as quickly as possible.
