   We hired 2 boats for our wedding day celebration and wedding Breakfast. The boats are 4-5 minutes walk from the registry Office and 1 minuet from Buzzie Lizzie’s chip shop where had take away Fish and chips on the boat. The service from booking to returning the boats was fantastic and they also suggested as we were getting married we took their new boats “Wallace and Grommit”. We had 16 in the party and the 2 boats never felt crowded. We also had a 86 and a 91 year old who had no trouble getting on or off or into the cabin. We had excellent and comprehensive instructions on the boat and bridges. Can’t recommend this company enough and a great fun and relaxed start to our married life.

   Had a lovely 30-minute boat trip with my dog, who was curious about her first ever experience on a boat. The skipper was friendly and nice. I would recommend it.

   Lovely 30-minute boat ride in Skipton – just £5! Had a fantastic experience on the canal boat ride in Skipton. It was a 30-minute ride for just £5 – great value! The boat is powered by a beautifully maintained 1947 vintage engine, which adds a nice nostalgic touch. The captain was friendly and engaging, making the ride even more enjoyable. The views along the canal were peaceful and scenic, perfect for a relaxing family outing. Our kids had a great time, especially when feeding the birds from the boat and playing around. It’s a simple, calm, and fun experience for both adults and children. Highly recommended if you're visiting Skipton.

   We did the 30 minute ride in one of the small boats. It gives you a brief perspective of what its like on the canals. It's a silent tour so no history or stories shared on the way.

   Great day out in Skipton and £4 per person for half hour boat ride, my Grandson absolutely loved feeding the Ducks, Swansea and Pigeons what more could you ask.

   We really enjoyed our day hire on the Leeds-Liverpool canal. The narrow boat from pennine cruisers was very nice. They gave us some instructions up front about how to run the boat.

   Always fancied a canal holiday so my wife, dog and I hired a narrowboat for the week. Really enjoyed the new experience. Pennine Cruisers very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the challenge of the numerous swing bridges and the locks which weren't as complicated as I thought though it was a challenge as my wife has a disability I had to do them all single handed while she navigated the boat. (The 5 & 3 locks at Bingley are manned so that was a major help). Boat was equipped with all the essentials and the beds were very comfortable. Lovely scenery and interesting towns and villages and always a nearby pub or restaurant to moor close to at night. Definitely recommend this trip if you enjoy a wee adventure.

   Had the most tranquil day ever! Was unsure when my husband suggested it, I’m so glad we bit the bullet and booked! Booking was easy and informative! Arrived parking is a 2 minute walk and wasn’t very expensive! We booked in and quickly got the paperwork out of the way! Ronald (who was lovely) helped us with the instructions and safety of the boat! We then set off a little nervous at first but it was lovely…. The scenery, the friendly people on other barges and the locals walking along the canal, the wildlife and most of all the peace! We stopped for dinner we brought food and had it on the barge. The facilities on the barge are basic but everything you need! We came back and again greeted by Ronald who helped us off and made sure the boat was safely secure. There are some bridges that you have to open but found it quite easy along the way! We will be back ♥️
