About this place
Skipton Boat Trips operates canal cruises from the Skipton Canal Basin, with its office at 3 Coach Street. Options include one-hour sightseeing trips, dining cruises and private hire on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The sightseeing trip uses recorded commentary about the canal and local history.
Choose the specific trip before booking: meal cruises have their own duration, menu and departure arrangements. Check current availability and dietary requirements directly with the operator. Its access guide describes uneven cobbles between the office and boats, steps for boarding, and limited space for mobility aids aboard. Contact the team before booking if these affect your visit; do not assume step-free access.
