With an overwhelmingly positive response to our question, we will now be opening tomorrow evening from 7pm - 9pm. See you there.

We are considering an evening opening on Friday but we need to gauge if it is something people would attend. We would open 7-9pm.

Please let us know your thoughts you lovely people.

Open today (Sat 20th) and tomorrow from 11:00.

We are encouraging all of the people who struggle to park properly in Sainsbury’s and Waitrose to try the pedalo’s. Lots of room down here and you probably won’t hit anything. Can’t promise though, as the river banks can catch you out.

Unfortunately the river is running too fast today so we will not open. Levels are falling so it will be fine for tomorrow providing no rain falls overnight.

Thanks

Great weather for meandering up the river. Come and join us today for the most perfect afternoon you’ll find in Otley.

Apologies but due to illness we will not be open today (Sunday 17th May)

Looks like rain though so maybe you won’t miss out too much.

We made a little song. If you like it you have to come and visit us. Open today!!

For those wondering, it is AI generated video, it’s not the river.

Unfortunately the weather forecast for today isn’t great so we will be closed today (Saturday) and open tomorrow instead...

Unfortunately the weather forecast for today isn’t great so we will be closed today (Saturday) and open tomorrow instead. I know this may disappoint some of you and we apologise however, we have very detailed statistical analysis that shows in this type of weather we get only one person wishing to take a boat. It’s a man, in his late 30’s or early 40’s with a small dog in a yellow raincoat. He’ll be wearing open toed sandals (the man not the dog….or is it???). Therefore knowing that only Ferris and his dog “Thrasher” will be the only ones attending it’s not financially worth opening.

See you all tomorrow hopefully.
