Definitely a fun thing to do! Prices have gone up considerably within a short amount of time - from £7 to £10 between my last two visits, but kinda to be expected with the ever rising cost of living. It is worth it though if it's just for an experience. Done it a few times with family and makes some fun memories with remembering how to row and steer and avoiding other boats. Pretty views, too, especially in summer, of course - and duckies!! Would recommend to people visiting Knaresborough to give it a go 😇

Lovely boats in a gorgeous spot in God’s own County. We were given little-to-no guidance on how to manoeuvre the boat and our oars kept slipping out of the catches... but then everyone else seemed to be doing fine, so maybe we were the problem! TIP: Get there early in the day. This morning we were on the water in a matter of seconds without having to wait, and then on return, we passed a giant queue (pictured) and counted our blessings!

Hire a boat if you’re here with your friends or family in spring/summer time! The flowers, the trees, the weather, the ducks, everything seems to be in sync. Was £10 per person per hour, felt a little too expensive though. The people were lovely helping us in and out of the boat. Just that we wish we had more time. We were there just a few mins before 5pm and they called us back before even 5:45-5:50.

Visit last summer. Fantastic service. Contactless payments. Very efficient. We broke an oar when our son bumped into another boat. We rang the phone number on the boat and they came straight out with another one. They let our dog on with us too. Perfectly placed to explore the whole river area on the time allotted. Stunning setting.

Friendly helpful staff. We hired a boat for two adults (£10 per adult) for an hour. Staff are helpful. Quick how to guide by boating staff before you are off. Absolute fun. You bump into other boats so be a little careful with speed. But it’s a blast of a time.

It was closed in November 2020 when we visited due to Covid 19 lockdown / restrictions. Normally we love a little time in a boat on the Nidd. There where no signs up with opening and closing dates or times under more normal (none covid) times.
