Before you set Sail

Navigating Your Day: From Packing to Paperwork

  1. Pack Smart: Before you set sail, remember to bring your essentials. While we provide a kettle and hob, you will need to bring items like milk, teabags, cups, and spoons. Don’t worry; we have plenty of water for your kettle. Additionally, we provide hand soap, washing-up liquid, tea towels, toilet rolls, and a bin bag.
  2. Lunch Options: We are happy to prepare a delicious lunch for your group, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. There is room for a cooler bag onboard, but please note that we do not have a refrigerator. Alternatively, consider stopping at one of the three charming pubs along the route. The White Lion in Kildwick, located about halfway through your day, is a local favorite.
  3. Weather-Ready: England’s weather can be unpredictable, so dress appropriately. Please note that we do not offer refunds or rebookings due to inclement weather. Be sure to bring your rain gear and suitable footwear, as the towpath can get muddy and slippery.
  4. Arrival Details: On the day of your adventure, aim to arrive at our car park between 9:30 AM and 9:45 AM. Typically, we have ample parking spaces available at this time. If our free parking area is full, don’t worry; there is a paid parking option just a two-minute walk away.
  5. Booking Process: When you arrive, the person who made the booking (or the designated responsible person) will visit our office to complete the necessary paperwork. Please remember that we require a deposit of ÂŁ50; we prefer to take payment by card rather than cash.
