About ChesterBoat

Step aboard the Lady Diana, Mark Twain or The Jackie and set sail on Chester's beautiful River Dee.

Half-hour City Cruises are just right for young sailors, travelling to the city limits and giving an introduction to the city's Roman, Medieval, and Industrial past. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as ducks, swans, cormorants, and kingfishers.

Make the most of your day in Chester by combining your half-hour crusie with an open top City Sightseeing bus tour (from April to October). Ask for a Combined ticket, enjoy your half-hour cruise, then step aboard the tour bus for a one-hour round trip or 24 hours of hop on hop off travel around the city.

  • See a different side of Chester

    Sit back,relax, and let us take care of the driving! A cruise on the River Dee is a great way to see a different side of historic Chester. From The Groves we head upstream past the fabulous homes and gardens of Boughton and out into the leafy Cheshire countryside of the Duke of Westminster's Eaton Estate.
