Full description

The Evening Escape on the Ouse is designed for those who want to see York at its most quiet and beautiful.

It is the perfect "golden hour" experience for couples, friends, and families.

Our on-board bar remains open throughout the 60-minute journey, stocked with a selection of local beers, wines, spirits, and hot drinks if you fancy a second round. It’s the ultimate way to cap off a wonderful day in York and soak in the city’s evening atmosphere with a final toast on the water.
