We had a brilliant day on ‘Toby’. Sean explained everything to us as complete newbies. Very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for the perfect day. We will definitely be back! Thanks for everything 👍

A wonderful day out. Very helpful staff, and a well maintained boat for us to enjoy. There is just enough time to get from Snaygill to Silsden for a pub lunch, and back again. Easy enough to get by for beginners, but quiet enough for some mistakes to be rectified if needed. Would recommend!
