Learn about York’s famous history of flooding and its previous prosperity as an inland port, all while sailing along the very river that brought the Romans and the Vikings!

Our sightseeing vessels all have an enclosed area and an open deck, a bar serving hot, soft, and alcoholic beverages and snacks, as well as toilet facilities.
Wheelchair access is available on two of our vessels; one of which also has an accessible toilet.

We also operate Dining CruisesPrivate Charters, perfect for Corporate Events and a fleet of fourteen Self Drive Blue Boats – ideal for a family outing exploring the river for up to one hour – and plan to only add to our product offering for 2023.
