Highlights
  • Skipton Boat Trips - The building that now houses our ticket office is one of the oldest canal related buildings in the area, dating to 1774 and is grade II listed. It was originally a warehouse for goods being transported on the canal, hence the large cranes outside- one facing the canal, the other facing our cobbled car park, formerly stables for horses towing the craft. Somewhere near the site of the wharf, although the exact location is now lost, was Winterwell Hall, a medieval manor whose remains were lost during the building of the canal basin.

Lovely way to spend our anniversary - We spent the 2 hour trip enjoying good food and service. I’m gluten free and was given a lovely plate of food. My partner had the savoury option and enjoyed it too. Highly recommend this trip to get a feel for being on a barge, going at a slow pace on a canal.

Afternoon Tea Cruise - Great overall experience. Cruise was relaxing, staff were attentive, afternoon tea was great and not overwhelming (sometimes there is too much cake on an afternoon tea). Would highly recommend a couple hours relaxing, eating and drinking on the canal. Would have happily stayed longer.

Lovely experience - A great experience ! Lovely friendly crew. About 25 guests on board. Boat nicely decorated out, clean and well looked after. Fresh flowers on our laid table. A good pot of tea or coffee comes alongside your food. We choose a savoury and a sweet afternoon tea so we could mix and match. Tasty and a good selection of food. The 2 hour cruise was delightful. Very relaxing. Highly recommend.
