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. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487add4e0af4cc01:0x4204b7fb1b847d06!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Souter's Lane, The Groves, Chester, CH1 1SZ [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=53.1876362%2C-2.8861970) **Category** Boat Tours & Cruises **Guest rating** 4.5 / 5 (1,528 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Suggested visit** 1-2 hours **Setting** Outdoor **Good for children** Yes **Destination** Chester [More attractions in Chester](https://staycation.co.uk/chester/attractions) ★ 4.5 (1,528 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.chesterboat.co.uk?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01244325394](tel:01244325394) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Chester **Postcode** CH1 1SZ **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C5V54Q7+3G [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487add4e0af4cc01:0x4204b7fb1b847d06!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487add4e0af4cc01:0x4204b7fb1b847d06!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487add4e0af4cc01:0x4204b7fb1b847d06!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Chester Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
