What to Bring on a Cruises & Sailing Tour in Leeds

By Editorial Team · Last updated 16/08/2026

Best season
April to October

Let’s talk about preparing for your 1-hour public cruise in Leeds! Given that this is an outdoor activity lasting around an hour, we recommend prioritizing comfort and practicality above all else.

The key thing to remember is that these cruises operate on the canal – so comfortable footwear is absolutely essential. We advise sturdy walking shoes or trainers; anything with a good grip would be ideal for navigating potentially damp or uneven surfaces along the towpath.

Layering your clothing is also crucial, as canal-side weather can change quickly. Bring a light jacket or fleece that you can easily take on and off, alongside a t-shirt or sweater. A waterproof layer might be sensible just in case – better to be prepared!

Considering the duration of the cruise, there isn’t much need for heavy luggage. A small backpack or shoulder bag is sufficient to carry essentials like your phone, wallet, and perhaps a bottle of water.

Finally, don't forget sunglasses and sunscreen if you’re visiting during daylight hours – even on a cloudy day, reflections from the water can be surprisingly bright. With an average rating of 4.4/5 based on 327 reviews and a price range of £12, we hope you have a wonderful time!
