This was one of my favourite things to do during my recent visit to Chester. Comfortable seats with plenty of space. Staff were friendly. Interesting local facts given during the boat trip. Lovely views of the river. I highly recommend.

An excellent 2 hour river cruise, nice clean boat with very friendly staff and nice clear and interesting commentary. An enjoyable family trip for the 3 of us.

Thoroughly enjoyed a most scenic, relaxing and informative 2 hour cruise along the River Dee. A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours on the water! See you soon!

Called in with my wife while having a day out in Chester in February 2026, as first time visitors. We caught the noon sailing, and there were a few other families on board. The boat was clean and well presented, and we sat upstairs with good views. Staff were friendly, and the audio commentary was interesting and we learned a few new things. It filled in 40 mins or so very nicely and would recommend.
