The Leeds & Liverpool canal

Welcome to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, a beautiful waterway that connects the cities of Leeds and Liverpool in Northern England. As you travel along the canal, you’ll pass through the stunning Pennines and Aire Valley, as well as the charming town of Skipton.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal was originally constructed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to transport goods and commodities, such as coal, limestone, and cotton, between Leeds and Liverpool. It played a crucial role in the industrialisation of the region and is now a popular leisure destination. You can enjoy boat trips and other activities along the length of the canal.

So come and explore the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and discover the rich history and natural beauty of this iconic waterway.

Visiting Skipton

Welcome to Skipton, the bustling market town located in the North Yorkshire district of Craven and known as the “Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.” Our town offers a unique blend of history and modernity, making it a great destination for tourists seeking a mix of culture, sightseeing, and shopping.

As you enjoy your trip in Skipton, take some time to explore our rich history. The town first became a market town in the 12th century, and many of its original features remain today, such as the stone-built packhorse bridge and the well-preserved Skipton Castle, which has stood for over 900 years. Visiting the castle also gives you the opportunity to see beautiful views of the town and surrounding countryside.

In addition to its historical landmarks, Skipton is home to a variety of independent shops and boutiques offering everything from jewellery to clothing to local produce. The town also has a range of restaurants, cafes, and pubs to choose from, offering diverse cuisines for all tastes.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do in Skipton as well, with numerous walks and trails in the area taking in the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. If you’re looking to venture further afield, Skipton is also well-connected by rail and makes a great base for day trips to nearby cities such as Leeds, Bradford, and Harrogate.

No matter what interests you, Skipton has something to offer. With its blend of history, culture, and shopping, it’s no wonder the town is such a popular destination for tourists.

Canal cruise with lunch or dinner

Our lunch or dinner cruise is the perfect way to combine dining and floating. And it is absolutely something different than eating in a restaurant. As our guest, we will completely pamper you.

Meal on a boat

At Floating Amsterdam you can rent a private boat with a captain and host(ess). While our captain leads you through the canals of Amsterdam, you can enjoy a delicious dinner or lunch on the open boat. A burger, pizza or extensive buffet … everything is possible. Our host(ess) will provide you with your lunch or dinner and accompanying drinks.

We can arrange a lunch for every budget. For example, if you just want 2 cheese sandwiches for each guest, you can. But you can also expand the lunch with fruit, luxury fillings, a croquette, raw vegetables, a pasta salad or perhaps a hot meal. Send us your ideas and we can put together a nice package for you.

Simple or extensive dinner

If you take an evening cruise through Amsterdam, you will make it just a bit more special if you have your dinner on the boat. You can of course keep it very simple with a pizza or burger, but you can also opt for a (luxury) buffet or sushi. There are really a lot of possibilities. Call or write so together we can find what the best and tastiest solution for you and your guests is.

Barbecue on the boat

Are you someone that really looooves a barbecue? We are! It is therefore possible to have a BBQ during your private cruise. Enjoy floating through the canals of Amsterdam, while your barbecue meal is prepared on the boat. The view will be something different than that of your backyard!

Vegetarian, vegan or other dietary requirements

Are you a vegetarian, vegan or do you have other dietary requirements? Then please pass them on to us in time. You are our guest and we want to please you as much as possible. Get in touch to discuss the options.

High Quality

We work with the best restaurants in town and only supply high quality meals for a reasonable price. And there really is something for everyone.

More luxury

Would you like to have more luxury or perhaps go to a restaurant by boat? We can make it happen. Let us know what your wishes are and we will arrange everything for you, so the only thing you have to do is enjoying the luxury canal cruise through Amsterdam in an open boat.

Business as (un)usual

This boat tour is ideal for your company outing or to experience with your business relations. Our crew speaks Dutch and English, so you can certainly invite your foreign business connections.

Eating during events

During some events it is possible to eat on the boat. Just ask us what you want to know. We are happy to assist you.

Rain! Now what?

No worries. When it rains, the boat can be covered. We have convertible roof tops specially developed for us. This way you can enjoy a dry private canal cruise through Amsterdam at all times.

Canal cruise tickets

Would you rather take a regular tour on our tour boat instead of renting a private boat? We can help you with that too. Just order your ticket here and let yourself be guided through the Amsterdam canals. The departure locations and times can be found here.

Request information

Our back office is happy to help you with your questions and proposals. Get in touch now.

Your own ideas

Do you have an idea yourself? We would love to hear what it is! Let us know what you have come up with so we can work out how to make it possible.

Send us a message today about your wishes.

TelephoneNr.

We like to think along with you. Write us your wishes and ideas so that we can organize an unforgettable cruise with lunch from dinner!

Eric and Yari were fabulous hosts and were both informative and very funny. Loved it. The hour flew by! Worth every penny for a more personable fun experience! More reviews »

The Sunday Lunch Cruise

  Relax and take in the wonderful scenery during this hour and a half cruise, including ancient woodland,weirs and waterfalls, plus a lock experience, whilst enjoying a two course Sunday lunch lovingly cooked at the Stubbing Wharf Pub. This’ll give you the strength to help with the lock( not obligatory!), and as well as the historical commentary, you’ll see and learn about the narrow boat community living on the canal.

A great outing for all your family and friends. Bring your own alcoholic drinks of choice or bring drinks on board purchased from The Stubbing Wharf. Tea, coffee and soft drinks are available.

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free option are available.

Sundays, amazingly enough at 12.30pm and 3pm. If these cruises are full then there will be availability at 5pm. Pre booking is essential, no later than 24hrs before the cruise, as we need to inform the pub of your meal choices.

Please arrive no later than 15 mins before your cruise.  

If your booking is only for 1 or 2 people, we’ll contact you within 24hrs before your cruise if we haven’t reached the 4 person minimum. A full refund will be issued or an alternative date can be booked.

• QUESTION : Do you offer these barge cruises in Carcassonne? ANSWER : I have a lot of clients who are staying in Carcassonne and who make bookings for this barge.

• QUESTION : Can I choose different times? ANSWER : No, I'm sorry, the times are shown above.
• QUESTION : Is there any flexibility at all? ANSWER : I wish I could give more flexibility but unfortunately all my partners who provide day-trip activities offer what they offer, and that's the way things are in France! :(

"We are 8 Australian ladies who had the pleasure of meeting Sara & Leigh (and of course gorgeous Max) while visiting the Pezenas area. Activities Languedoc, which Sara and Leigh manage besides running their lovely villas, gave us the most amazing tours and took the hassle out of trying to organize ourselves. In the few days we were in Pezenas they arranged a private boat with a beautiful meal down the Canal du Midi, a wine tasting and tapas evening at a nearby chateau under beautiful oak trees, a visit to another chateau with tour of vineyard and beautiful grounds with, of course, more wine tasting (as you do in France) as well as a beautiful luncheon in a pristine location in Pezenas with a guided tour from Leigh to give us the history of Pezenas. As if that wasn't enough Sara & Leigh invited us to their home to be entertained by 2 lovely musicians around a candle-lit pool for more wine and delicious nibblies. We all feel as if we have met the most amazing husband and wife team that truly care about taking care of others so if you want to have the time of your life contact Sara or Leigh they will become friends for life. I know we may not see them until we visit France again but they truly touched our hearts and we will never forget them."

The Stunning Canal Boat Cruises with added Gin, Afternoon Tea, Tapas & Wine!

Spend a few hours on the stunning waterways of Lancashire...

By Manchester's Finest | 20 July 2021

Share this story

There’s nothing more relaxing than exploring the region’s many beautiful waterways and canals, slowly drifting past picturesque towns and villages, meandering through stunning greenery and best of all – stopping off for a few pints in a cracking countryside pub.

Around Manchester though you’re pretty much limited to the Manchester Ship Canal or the Rochdale Canal, which, if we’re being honest, aren’t as picturesque as you’d expect.

No, you need to go a little bit further out to get the most out of your canal cruise, which is why a little trip up to Lancashire should be on the cards.

Starting things off in the tiny village of Riley Green, Canal Boat Cruises offer up leisurely canal cruises on their charming luxury narrowboat called ‘Romance’, who will take you down the picturesque 200 year old Leeds & Liverpool Canal, which offers up 127 miles of walking, boating, wildlife-watching and plenty more.

Canal Boat Cruises of Riley Green is enthusiastically run by the Yates family, who have created a range of brilliant food & drink packages to enjoy whilst exploring the canal, including an Afternoon Tea Cruise, Tapas Cruise and even one where you can tuck into a smashing Roast Dinner with all the trimmings…

Wine & Cheese Tasting Cruise Join Barrica Wines for a ‘Round the World’ wine tasting cruise, where you’ll be guided through the mysteries of how to taste wine, (and why!) and what to look for when choosing your perfect bottle.

Afternoon Cream Tea Cruise A picturesque two hour cruise down the 200 year old canal can only be made better with a delightful Afternoon Tea beside you, complete with all the trimmings you could ever desire. A selection of freshly made sandwiches, pork pies, quiche, homemade scones (with jam and cream) and a selection of cakes… brilliant. 2 hour cruise: £25 per person

Tapas Evening Cruise Enjoy the delights of Spain with a 2.5 hour cruise with a selection of tapas dishes served on board. Kicking things off with some artisan bread, olives and oil and vinegar, you’ll then be treated to a range of tapas dishes, from patatas bravas to paella, chicken to garlic mushrooms. Add yourself in some wine or sangria and you’ll feel like you’re on your holidays abroad in no time. 2.5 hour cruise with tapas: £30 per person

Three Hour Cruise with Three Courses The ultimate in gastronomic indulgence, this 3-course, 3-hour extravaganza will see you enjoy a range of culinary delights, including their Spout House Farm Roast Beef Dinner with Yorkshire Pudding and all the trimmings, or perhaps their Mushroom, Cranberry & Brie Wellington. Finish things off with a Farmhouse baked Apple Pie and tonnes of custard. 3 hour cruise with 3 courses: £29.50
