Planning your 2027 coach tours? We’re delighted to announce that bookings are now open for coach groups visiting Skipton Boat Trips.

Whether you’re organising a day excursion, holiday itinerary, club outing or society visit, we’d love to welcome your passengers aboard one of our award-winning canal cruises on the beautiful Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

A Relaxing Stop in the Heart of Yorkshire

Our dining boat, the Dalesman, is available for exclusive hire for groups of 30 to 46 passengers. With comfortable indoor seating, a fully licensed bar, onboard toilet facilities and delicious freshly prepared food, it’s the perfect addition to any coach itinerary.

For groups looking for a shorter experience, our one-hour sightseeing cruise includes live commentary along with complimentary tea and coffee, giving passengers the opportunity to relax while learning about the fascinating history of the canal and Skipton.

As a coach operator, you’ll also benefit from post-visit invoicing, making the booking process simple and hassle-free.
