What a lovely time I had with my Mum for afternoon tea. All the staff were very friendly. It was warm with each booth having a radiator. Food was lovely and fresh. Plenty of hot drinks brought around. Nothing too much trouble. Clean inside. Would definitely recommend and would go again!! Thank you so much.

A great little afternoon out. Easy to get to as only a ten minute walk ( at a seniors pace) from the train station. The staff were polite, friendly and very helpful to my adult daughter who has mobility issues. The boat was warm, clean and welcoming. Food was freshly made and totally delicious. We spent two hours sailing down the canal at a leisurely pace, just watching the world go by without a care.

This was a very pleasant trip. Most of the tables are for 4, but our party of 5 was thoughtfully accommodated in the larger space in the bow. Drinks were ordered and delivered at table, and the chippy grub was all correct, still hot and very tasty. The staff were friendly and polite throughout, and dispensed free choc ices and mints. The seating was comfortable, the barge clean and the views good all round. The scenery on the trip is attractive, though not spectacular. The pleasure is in gently puttering along on the water, meeting canoes, barges, walkers, cyclists, runners, sheep, cows, dogs, geese, ducks, swans, gulls, crows and even a kingfisher. A well-organised treat.

The four of us came down from Ayrshire for a break and we’re looking for something ‘different to do’…. So we decided to book the Public Afternoon Tea Cruise with Skipton Boat Trips, and we had an absolutely amazing time. From start to finish, the experience was truly magical. The journey itself, aboard the luxurious Dalesman canal boat along the historic Leeds & Liverpool canal, was incredibly peaceful and picturesque. The gentle pace allowed us to truly relax and soak in the beautiful scenery. It was the perfect way to spend a few hours away from the hustle and bustle. A huge thank you must also go to the fabulous staff on board. Although we've forgotten their names, their friendly and attentive service was impeccable. They made us feel so welcome and enhanced the entire experience with their professionalism and warmth. This trip is a must-do for anyone visiting the area. We would highly recommend the Afternoon Tea Cruise to anyone looking for a charming, relaxing, and memorable way to see Skipton from a different perspective. We can't wait to come back!

We had the most amazing experience with Skipton Boats! 🚤✨ We booked a 3-hour Sunday Roast Dinner cruise to celebrate my husband’s birthday with friends, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The boat was comfortable and welcoming, the atmosphere was so relaxed, and the views along the canal were just beautiful. 🌿⛵ The Sunday roast was delicious – proper hearty food, great portions, and everything served with a smile. 🥩🥔🥕 The staff were fantastic, friendly, and made the whole trip even more special. It was such a unique way to celebrate a birthday – great company, great food, and such a peaceful journey. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Skipton, whether for a special occasion or just a lovely day out.
