New for 2026 – Introducing Our Brand-New Curry Cruise on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal
Skipton Boat Trips is delighted to announce an exciting new dining experience for 2026 – the Curry Cruise, created in partnership with the award-winning Pitra Waterfront.
Combining authentic Indian cuisine with a relaxing evening cruise through the Yorkshire countryside, the Curry Cruise offers guests a unique way to experience the beautiful Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
A Unique Dining Experience in the Yorkshire Dales
Step aboard our luxury dining boat, the Dalesman, and enjoy a leisurely two-hour cruise departing from Skipton Canal Basin while indulging in a delicious two-course Indian meal freshly prepared by Pitra Waterfront.
As you cruise along one of the most scenic stretches of canal in the country, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy stunning countryside views, peaceful waters, and exceptional food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Whether you are planning a date night, celebrating a birthday, meeting friends, or simply looking for something different to do in Yorkshire, the Curry Cruise is designed to offer a memorable evening for all.
Authentic Indian Cuisine from Pitra Waterfront
We are proud to be partnering with Pitra Waterfront, one of the region’s most highly regarded Indian restaurants, to bring authentic flavours and freshly prepared dishes onboard the Dalesman.
Guests will enjoy a carefully selected two-course menu featuring traditional Indian favourites prepared using quality ingredients and rich spices.
A fully licensed onboard bar will also be available throughout the cruise, serving a range of beers, wines, spirits, soft drinks, and hot drinks.
Relax and Enjoy the Journey
The Curry Cruise is not just about the food — it is about the experience.
As the boat gently cruises through the Yorkshire countryside, guests can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of canal life while dining in comfort aboard our heated and enclosed dining vessel.
The Dalesman has become well known for its popular dining cruises, including Afternoon Tea Cruises, Fish & Chips Cruises, Sunday Roast Cruises, and Christmas events, and we are excited to add the Curry Cruise to our growing range of experiences.
