What else is on at Skipton Boat Trips?

Unique Winter Wonderland Bliss in Skipton

Throughout December, be a part of a truly magical, and unique journey, every weekend in December up to Christmas. Whatever the age – it’s a great way to start the festive season.

On booking, you will be asked for some basic info about the children in the party. We then pass this on to Santa. Kids are invited to dress up if they wish, but they don’t have to.

Santa calls up the children by name and invites them to join him at the front of the boat. He has a little chat with them about what we have found out about them and then offers them a bag of goodies.

Adults get to appreciate the boat journey, whilst enjoying a hot mug of coffee and a tasty Mince Pie.

These 75 minute trips onboard the Cobbydale are extremely popular; bookings are taken all year round, so be sure to get your place in time.

Yes, to an extent.

  • There are 4-5 steps to access the vessel which may be inaccessible to users. 
  • The outdoor areas are uneven, with paving slabs and cobblestones. 
  • Wheelchairs and walkers must be stored near the boat entrance or at Skipton Boat Trips office due to limited space on the vessel. 

Once onboard, the ground of the boat remains even. 

Primarily, yes! Skipton Boat Trips warmly welcomes furry friends on board, but there are some guidelines to follow.

  • Dogs are welcome on the Cobbydale canal cruiser for one hour trips.
  • They are also permitted on day boats.

However, dogs are not permitted on the Dalesman cruiser, due to food being served. 

All boat trips start and finish from Skipton wharf.
