Overview

This Skipton 1-hour public canal cruise takes place on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and features a recorded commentary by comedian Dave Spikey. The boat departs from Skipton and travels along the canal, passing by Aireville Park, a large open space with sporting facilities and play areas that dates back to the 1830s. During the cruise, Dave Spikey provides a humorous narration with Northern English style, sharing historical facts and stories about the canal’s importance to Yorkshire’s industrial revolution. The boat includes restroom facilities available throughout the trip. Food and drinks can be purchased on board, though alcoholic beverages are not included and require separate purchase. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and the minimum drinking age is 18 years. The cruise operates regardless of weather conditions and offers a relaxed way to spend an hour on the water.
