Last night we has a wonderful three hour private cruise as part of my sisters surprise hen weekend. We were in pirate fancy dress and had already been in touch with Yorkboat in advance and kindly agreed to put up the pirate decorations before we arrived. The staff we great.

York is a popular destination for Hen Party's so when the YorkBoat company came up on a search for what to do, we thought this would be a great way to spend the evening. I called to talk through what I would like and was delighted that they agreed to have a pirate theme and offered to decorate the boat... More

The four of us decided to take a boat cruise on a windy day in order to celebrate the anniversary of our Cruise to Norway exactly a year ago. Not quite the same but enjoyable due to the interesting,informative live commentary provided by the "captain" even though there were only about a dozen of us on board. We sat upstairs... More

Paid £6.50 per person in advance on the internet which was pretty reasonable value for a pleasant cruise with entertaining commentary.

We did the City Tour which... More

We had a riverboat trip on one of the coldest but sunniest days in February and STILL managed to sit outside and enjoy the commentary pointing out interesting spots along the way that wouldn't have been aware of from dry land. Not overly expensive and a nice way to have a bit of a breather but still be sightseeing.
