Well organised. Lovely Santa and Elf..took time to ask questions with each child. Good quality gift. Perhaps a game everyone could join in would be a good addition and more Christmas carols playing. All three children.. from 6 to 8 enjoyed.

Had a fantastic day out on a canal boat! The guy we dealt with explained everything clearly and was very pleasant and polite. Boat was clean and tidy and well equipped. Highly recommend for a family day out!

Fabulous day out! We picked the boat up at 10am and with basic instruction we were able to get underway quickly. The weather was against us at the start with lots of rain, however the boat is snug and warm with oven and grill and loads of hot water. In the afternoon the sun came out and we were able to sit on the front and watch the world go by. We were back by around 3pm - although we could have been out longer - very refreshed from a great day out. Thank you

It was a nice trip, a short and slow ride with commentary. My daughter who was eager to take the ride was bored by the end of it. But the ride was nice and enjoyable for me and my wife, properly organized and guided by the team. It's a must for all who want to take a ride in the canal, once done take a walk on the canal through the town, it's really beautiful.

We really enjoyed our afternoon tea cruise. The scenery was lovely and the tea very lavish. Our bottle of prosecco went down well, too! It was a beautiful afternoon and a thoroughly enjoyable and restful experience.

We enjoyed our leisurely cruise down the canal in Skipton. The fish and chips are great and a good portion size. Once served you are left to enjoy and it is different view to enjoy your food. It would be nice to be able to order drinks throughout the meal and our ride ran out of milk after their first round. All in all, it was a nice evening.

We spent this evening on the evening dining cruise and it was fabulous!!! I must admit, I was hesitant when it came to booking the trip. I questioned how hot the food would be and if it would be like barely warm aeroplane food, or if it would be freshly cooked!! But I needn't have worried. The way they structured the evening was great. Every course was piping hot (well not dessert, it wasn't supposed to be), and really delicious. The staff were all very attentive and it was very covid safe and compliant. Great background music too!!! If you fancy an evening like this, you won't be disappointed

We went on the ploughman's lunch excursion and it was lovely to sit back and relax passing through the lovely Yorkshire countryside. The lunch was really nice and would definitely recommend an excursion with Skipton Boat Trips.
