Skipton Boat Trips

About

Skipton Boat Trips invites visitors to glide along the historic Leeds & Liverpool Canal, an 127‑mile waterway that winds through the Yorkshire Dales. A fleet of comfortable, fully‑equipped canal boats offers a range of themed journeys: from charming afternoon tea cruises served with scones, clotted cream and sandwiches, to self‑drive day hires that let guests chart their own course across 17‑mile stretches of lock‑free water. Seasonal specials such as the Christmas / Sunday roast dinner cruise or the Fish & Chip cruise pair scenic cruising with hearty local fare. Each trip includes safety tuition, a choice of add‑on meals, and the friendly crew’s expert guidance. Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic stroll, a family seeking a relaxed day out, or a group of enthusiasts eager to explore the countryside, Skipton Boat Trips delivers a picturesque and memorable canal experience.
