Good cruise

Published on Mar, 2025

This was a fun tour and was a nice sunny day. The boat goes one way, turns back goes the other way then turns back to the centre. It's not 20 mins out then 20 mins back as I originally believed so you see everything twice. It was explained this was due to locks on either end but I wasn't aware of this ahead of time.

A new way to see York

Published on Mar, 2025

Been to York many times but never a cruise What a great way to spend 45 minutes! Great view from the boat of the city from a different perspective Super-friendly crew and an enthusiastic skipper who kept us informed Great value for money

All aboard

It was marvellous. Thanks to the captain. High sense of humour and well knowledgeable. Learnt more about the river, the bridge and the surrounding buildings.

Informative and Lovely Staff

Published on Mar, 2025

My sister and I found the cruise/tour really fun and informative. Sophia was the driver and commentator, we thought she was brilliant! The other skipper was called Josh (I think! So sorry if I have misremembered) and he was lovely too. :)
