The crew were extremely friendly and helpful. The tea, food and all, was delicious. Grateful that a car park was nearby.
It was an enjoyable, relaxing experience. Enjoyed seeing the beautiful countryside with cows, sheep, and lambs, and water fowl. The slow pace of the boat and breeze from the window, made it even more relaxing.

Allow plenty of time to get parked. We nearly missed the boat because of the queue at the parking meter. The food was nice and fresh but the scones were very small. The cruise was very nice, but no running commentary on history etc. because there was really nothing to comment on, just lovely views of fields and trees.

A very pleasant way to spend a relaxing and enjoyable hour and a half. The food was nice and just the right amount, served by polite and pleasant young men who came round 3 times offering top-ups. There was an option to buy from the bar too if desired.

Booked this trip for my mum’s birthday. Called Viator to request Gluten Free food as my mum is Coeliac. This was confirmed with the booking agent that he’d made a note on the booking. Unfortunately, on arrival Skipton River Cruises weren’t aware of the dietary requirements as it wasn’t on our booking.
The staff there told us that they would do their best to rectify it. The staff were absolutely incredible and picked up Gluten Free food along the way. There was hardly any delay to us getting our food, despite having to make a whole new afternoon tea for my mum.
Thank you to the staff at Skipton River Cruises for sorting this straight away. My mum absolutely loved the trip.
For anyone with dietary requirements who are booking through Viator - I would recommend calling Skipton River Cruises directly in advance to make sure they’re aware.
