Autumn’s arrived on the canal 🍂🛥️

The board’s had its seasonal update, and there are plenty of reasons to slow down and enjoy Skipton from the water this autumn.

🍰 Afternoon Tea Cruises – every day
🐟 Fish & Chip Cruises – Friday, Saturday & Sunday
🍛 Curry Cruises – selected Thursday evenings
🛥️ One-Hour Cruises – every day

Whether it’s tea and cake while the Yorkshire countryside drifts past, fish & chips on the canal, or simply an hour away from the rush, autumn is a lovely time to join us.

And yes… the Christmas decorations have already started sneaking onto the board. 🎄👀

Family-run in Skipton since 1990.

Rain or shine, it’s always a good time to escape onto the canal 🚤☔☀️

We’re having another very busy week, with our Fish & Chip Cruises, Afternoon Tea Cruises and Self Drive Day Boats all fully booked.

But there are still opportunities to join us for one of our 1-hour trips — and being Yorkshire, we’re certainly not letting a bit of rain stop us.

Sit back, stay dry and enjoy an hour of Yorkshire scenery, fascinating canal history and Dave Spikey’s brilliant recorded commentary.

A few sailings are already down to the last couple of seats, so booking ahead is recommended.
