Pennine Cruisers Description

Narrow boat breaks | Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales | Skipton

Booking essential - Please ring the office to book your space 01756 795478.

Pennine Cruisers, a family run company consisting of Ian Clarke, wife Pamela and daughter Zoe is based in Skipton, North Yorkshire; "Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, " and situated on the beautiful Leeds and Liverpool canal. Ian alone has over 35 years experience so there is not a ripple on this stretch of water way that they do not know.

Pennine Cruisers provides everything that is needed and whether you are an absolute beginner or an experienced boater you will find it at Pennine Cruisers.

Starting with their 30 minute accompanied canal trips running on the Leeds Liverpool Canal and part way up the historic Springs Branch. Pennine Cruisers also have six Day Boats for which no previous experience is required as, following your boat handling instruction, you will be able to head off on your day out with total confidence.

Canal life is addictive and so the next step is a short break, holiday or extended holiday on board a narrow boat. Once again no previous experience is required as the full boat handling instruction and lock instruction is provided by Pennine Cruisers.

Full lockside instruction is given to all our holiday boaters to ensure that hirers are confident in the operation of locks and know how to operate them safely so they can enjoy all aspects of their holiday.

What could be better than sailing slowly along this picturesque waterway, stopping off at one of the many waterside inns, but knowing that you are never more than a few yards from dry land! So contact Pennine Cruisers for a range of hire options for boating holidays…. . just perfect!

Here at Pennine Cruisers we cater for everyone so if you own a boat yourself we can also offer you wide selection of services, everything from a bottle of gas or bag of coal through to a new build narrow boat.

Well Santa was super busy today seeing loads of children, the grotto was a huge success. We had over 200 children meet Santa today!. Roll on next Sunday..... when he’s back to meet more lucky boys & girls. Big thanks to everyone involved, and especially to Skipton BID for funding the set up costs so that our grotto is affordable for everyone at only £1 per child (and that even includes a gift)

Come and meet Santa aboard his floating grotto, be entertained with some jolly Christmas music whilst you wait. £1 per child and each child will receive a small gift, no advance booking needed. This is not a boat trip, just a floating grotto, however Pennine Crusiers will also be running 30 minute boat trips throughout the day (again no need to book) - In conjunction with the Christmas markets and Farmers markets on 2nd & 9th December we are happy to bring the Santa's grotto to you.

Nice Summer with no/very little rain...... Canal issues! That's right folks, as you may have heard the news reporting that the canal is closing? So we wanted to give you some accurate information. The locks between Gargrave and Wigan yes are closing on Monday 30th July due to the lack of water to maintain that stretch of canal. However, our day boats are NOT AFFECTED by this closure at all and although it does affect our holiday hire boats the canal is STILL OPEN towards Leeds and therefore we are not having to cancel anyone’s holiday. If you have a booking with us or are thinking of making a booking but have any questions about the closures and how you will be affected, please do give us a call on 01756 795478 or email info@penninecruisers.com.

Call us on 01756 795478 to get booked in.

What an amazing day out. Very helpful team and great boats. We were in Rosie and we loved her. The surrounding area and canal system is stunning. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone.

User

Went to Skipton yesterday as me and my friends like to see the sights the north has to offer. Came across the boat trips so decided to give it a go even tho it was raining. The guys working there were so friendly and helpful and were really chatty. Only £4 and you get to see some great scenery along the way. Highly recommend especially for families would def return again and thanks for looking after us.

User

Well worth £4 took my daughter, daughters-in-law and niece and nephew who loved every minute £20 for 5 of us I think was a bargain will definitely be back xx

We rented a canal boat yesterday with a group of friends and had an amazing time. The staff at Pennine Cruisers was very friendly and dealing with the company was a pleasure. The boat was very clean and well equipped. Highly recommended :-)

User

We had a fantastic adventure day with the children smooth sailing from start to finish everything was explained I can highly recommend and the kids have already asked to go again.

User

Lovely & relaxing. Lovely views. Staff couldn't do enough for you so pleasant. Lovely food. Didn't get the glass of wine as it said we would & sad they don't do tea of coffee. But all in all a lovely few hours. Would recommend it.

User

Fantastic weekend with friends aboard Carleton; a beautiful boat which was well serviced, clean and comfortable. Pennine Cruisers are a great company to deal with who clearly know their trade remarkably well. Wayne handed over the boat to us and was particularly helpful and patient with us. Five Rise & 3 Rise Locks were a great experience and an opportunity not to be missed. We shall certainly be doing another boat trip and definitely with this company.

User

Fantastic day. Everything was explained in detail so that even a novice such as myself could understand it. Do not be mistaken, this is no basic cruise. You have to open swing bridges, avoid bridges and other boats. The boats are clean and well maintained. The scenery is lovely with many baby ducks, sygnets, goslings and lambs along the way. I thoroughly recommend it.

User

Fantastic day out. Highly recommend it to anyone!

A fantastic family day out. I hired a small day narrowboat for my partner's birthday. Our son aged 10 loved jumping off and opening/ closing bridges. We stopped off/ moored up and went to the White Lion. Lunch was lovely. We saw a heron, swans, rabbits​, tiny ducklings etc. A day where you have to work together.
