Sightseeing Cruises are fun for ALL the family, you’ll have a great view of the city and our captains will share parts of the history of our ancient city and the immense impact the River Ouse has had on its development!
Or how about being the captain of your very own boat? With our Self-Drive Boats, you’ll receive full instructions on how to operate the boat along with our safety and river rules, whilst life jackets will be provided for children.
Book a Self-Drive Boat Trip online, using MUMBLER5 for £5 off on a weekday!

We tried out the Self Drive Boat and had a great time! Booking is really easy – all done online, with confirmations sent with all the instructions you needed! There were two staff on at the pier who gave us clear instructions and guided us to our boat for the hour – Josephine! There were seven of us in total – including two children. The kids were given life jackets – optional for the adults. There was plenty of room for all of us on the boat – we moved around a lot too and no issues.
The kids absolutely loved it! The weather was amazing – and it was lovely to see a different park of York! The experience takes you on certain self-drive route which takes about an hour. You’re welcome to take food onto the boat with you too. We had a great time – even saw some rowers practicing!
The sun was shining and the weather was glorious – we had a great day and would totally recommend to take the self drive boat trips if you’re in York for the day! Finished off with an ice cream from one of the many ice cream boats we saw!!!
Don’t forget – £5 off with our code MUMBLER5 – or why not take the Sightseeing trips – they looked awesome too!
