Let’s talk about cruises and sailing experiences available around York. We currently offer four distinct tours catering to different interests and time commitments within the city.
The price range for these cruises sits between £15 and £48, reflecting variations in both duration and some of the inclusions offered with each tour. Generally, shorter cruises – those lasting around 45 to 90 minutes – tend towards the lower end of this spectrum (£15 to £30). Longer durations, typically spanning 90 to 150 minutes, are priced higher, ranging from approximately £35 to £48.
Several factors contribute to these price differences. While all tours share the same core experience—a guided cruise along the River Ouse – the inclusion of extras like commentary or refreshments can influence the cost. Shared group cruises are usually more affordable than private options.
Considering the average rating of 4.5 out of 5, these cruises represent very good value for money. Given the wide duration range (45 to 150 minutes), you're sure to find a cruise that perfectly fits your schedule and budget. We believe they offer a fantastic way to see York from a unique perspective.
