    Tony (the Skipper) is a lovely guy, and gives you some great information on the canal half way through the trip. For the rest of the time, you can just sit and enjoy the views as you cruise peacefully down the canal. It's nice to see things from a different point of view, and is thoroughly enjoyable - as well as a bargain at only £4 each! It's very easy to book over email, which is necessary at the moment due to coronavirus. Tony responded quite late at night for me, and even sent an email the day after hoping that we had a good time and wishing us well! A very nice touch

    Our favourite part of a lovely day visiting Saltaire. The man in charge of the boat was really helpful and friendly, giving us a little bit of history of the canal and being very easy-going about us having two labradors with us. The boats are dog-friendly but only have seating for 12 people, so really big dogs wouldn't fit, plus your dog needs to be fairly confident about getting on board or be able to be carried. The trip was about 45 minutes, costing £4 per person, which I thought was decent value. The canal at this point is really healthy and supports wildlife, so we saw a kingfisher, which was a real highlight. They also sell duck food cheaply on board so the kids were happily occupied with that.

    I had a fabulous time in this 30-minute scenic boat trip. I missed it the first time I went to Saltaire but was glad that I tried it on my second time. The couple running things was very personable. Highly recommended!

    Really enjoyed the sail, found it very relaxing. Lovely scenery and the boatman was friendly and informative telling us about the history of of the canal, well worth £4.00 per person.

    Was in Saltaire in August on a pre-birthday train trip. Stumbled across this delightful canal boat ride, £5 per person for 30mins, it was fab. Was offered an onboard upgrade, tea or coffee with biscuits for an extra £1 by the wonderful crew. Yes please! Our four legged pal was also very welcome, he loved it! Highly recommended.

    I had my family over for a 40th birthday celebration. Contacted Shirley and John and they were so helpful and accommodating. We had an amazing time, the kids loved being on the boat and also able to buy food for the ducks. Thank u for a lovely trip, extremely good value for money and remerable experience.
