The process of buying tickets was so simple. Do NOT forget your jumper - lol! Staff was amazing. Dave, our skipper and guide, was wonderful and funny. The cruise itself was tranquil and scenic. Couldn't have had a better time!

The cruise was great, it lasted about an hour, it was very hot and umbrella's was supplied, we got to learn some interesting facts about York, we didn't go for the fish and chips but everyone else enjoyed them, drinks can be purchased from the bar, all the staff was lovely and nothing was too much trouble.

The scenery was lovely and the commentary amusing, however, I missed a far bit of the cruise as I was overcharged for a drink, (the staff were aware but did nothing about it until I complained) so it took a while to sort out refunds and me having to pay again. It just tainted the experience.

Explore York on your own terms with a flexible River Ouse sightseeing cruise ticket that lets you hop on any of the frequent daytime departures from King's Staith Landing.

Discover York’s iconic riverside landmarks and hidden medieval gems from a unique water-level vantage point away from the city crowds.

Forget pre-recorded tapes; enjoy live, witty, and informative commentary from our local skippers, packed with tales of York’s Roman and Viking past.

Relax in style with a fully stocked bar, comfortable heated indoor seating for chilly days, and an open-top deck for soaking up the Yorkshire sun.

The boat cruise was good. A little but longer duration would have been better. Our captain and guide was very nice. Enjoyed it.

Seeing York from a different angle. The old buildings, the on board audio description by the captain and the friendly staff.
