This isn’t just a boat trip - it’s a hands-on canal experience.
Under the guidance of our expert skippers and friendly crew, you’ll have the chance to take the tiller, learn how a traditional narrow boat handles, and even operate historic canal locks yourself. No experience needed - just curiosity and a sense of adventure.
As Apollo glides along the canal, you’ll hear stories of Yorkshire’s industrial past, working boat traditions, and the waterways that helped shape the region. Whether you’re looking for a short taster or a full day immersed in canal life, our trips offer a unique blend of heritage, learning, and laid-back enjoyment.
Perfect for individuals, families, groups, and special occasions.
Come aboard Apollo and experience Yorkshire the way it was meant to be seen: from the water, hands on, and unhurried.
