Awesome peaceful boat trip
John_T

Whilst the trip was still in dusk light we expected that due to it being summer so getting dark later. The trip was so peaceful and relaxing. It was nice.to not have commentary, to see loads.of wildlife (two foxes, birds, Canadian geese and four swans) and to enjoy the peaceful smooth ride. Staff are very helpful as well

We felt very welcome right from the beginning. Easy to talk to and felt we could ask for anything and it would not be much trouble. Would stay again and tell people to stay there if they were visiting York.

Was a beautiful cruise in the dark along the river. We got lucky and saw some ducks, ducklings and an owl! This is more about a nice relaxing cruise, not a lot of sights to see.

A nice experience
Katie_T
, Apr 2022
Was a lovely and peaceful experience. There wasn't lots to see as the boat didn't cruise through the centre of York to be able to view the streets. However, it was a relaxing experience and something different to do to get away from the business of the town centre.
