Full Day Cruises

Explore the Yorkshire Canal Network with Best Yorkshire BoatingThis season, Best Yorkshire Boating is taking our historic working narrow boat Apollo on the move—bringing unique boating experiences to different locations across the Yorkshire canal network every week.Rather than staying in one place, Apollo will travel between canals and waterways, offering 90-minute, half-day, and full-day trips from a rotating range of Yorkshire locations. That means more choice, more variety, and more chances to discover parts of Yorkshire you may never have seen from the water before.Each week brings a new stretch of canal, new scenery, and new stories—from peaceful rural cuttings to vibrant historic towns. Wherever we are, our trips remain hands-on and welcoming: guests can have a go at steering, learn how a traditional narrow boat works, and even help operate locks with guidance from our experienced skippers and crew.This flexible, travelling programme allows locals to enjoy trips close to home and visitors to experience Yorkshire’s waterways in fresh and unexpected ways—all while keeping the heritage of working boats alive and active.Follow our schedule to see where Apollo will be next, and come aboard to experience Yorkshire one canal, one week at a time.
