    Two Hour Iron Bridge River Cruise - Daily (from February)

    Fish & Chip Fridays - First Friday of The Month (May - September)

    What could be better than relaxing after a long week on a beautiful river cruise with a hearty plate of delicious fish and chips! Set sail for a two-hour cruise with a delicious fish supper and a fun game of bingo, suitable for all the family.

    If you are in Chester on a Friday this highly popular river cruise is not to be missed!

    They have a fleet of boats that accommodate up to 120 guests and coach drop-off and pick-up available right next to ChesterBoat's moorings at the Groves at any time of day, with coach parking available nearby at the Little Roodee Car Park (CH1 1SL)

     

    Private Charter Hire for Private Parties and Celebrations or Weddings & Civil Ceremonies

    If you’re looking for a unique venue for your special occasion, a private charter on the River Dee is sure to impress. You can hire your very own boat from ChesterBoat's impressive fleet accommodating between 5 and 120 guests to cruise you down the River Dee in style while you celebrate with your friends and family or work colleagues.

    The ChesterBoat team have plenty of options for food, drinks, entertainment, and decorations that can all be organised for you as part of the private charter to make your river cruise celebration completely bespoke!

     

    All boats have a bar on board so whichever river cruise experience you choose you can enjoy a hot or cold drink or your favourite tipple as you meander up the river.

    Booking ahead for all the river cruises is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

     

    Click the 'Gift Vouchers' or 'Gift Experiences' buttons above to purchase any of the experiences above as an unusual present for your loved ones.

     

    ChesterBoat's philosophy

Whether they are sightseeing tourists, families enjoying a day out together, a hen party wanting to dance the night away or a loving couple wanting to spend the most important day of their lives with their nearest and dearest, they want you to have a memorable and enjoyable time with them on the River Dee.

    They are proud of their excellent safety record and of our helpful and friendly team and heavily invested in making sure you have the best time while in their most capable hands!
