York Self Drive Boat Hire
Overview
Are you ready to experience York like a true Viking? Let's set sail!
Climb aboard one of our self-drive motor boats, taking up to four of your fellow Viking warriors with you and navigate the same river that brought the mighty Norsemen to York.
Don't worry if it is your first time! We'll give you full instructions and provide life jackets for you all. You'll have up to an hour to explore the river and make some Instagram-worthy memories.
Pre-booking is recommended, but we always save a few boats for those Vikings who like to live on the edge and walk up!
