The Experience
The Boat offers unique floating accommodation in Skipton Town, North Yorkshire.
What's not to love about Skipton? Immense history, a rich culture, independent shops, food & drink places galore, a famous market, an iconic castle, stunning countryside and, perhaps most of all, friendly, fiercely proud and passionate Yorkshire people.
We will be here to meet you on your arrival, show you around The Boat and leave you to enjoy your stay onboard, moored on Springs Canal, a branch off the Leeds & Liverpool.
Although The Boat is a fully operational vessel, it isn't possible to move The Boat off its mooring in the centre of Skipton on your stay.
