About Shire Cruisers of Sowerby Bridge

About us

We were thrilled in 2015 to have been Highly Commended in the White Rose Awards, the largest tourist awards scheme in the country. We are a family company, offering holiday hire boats in Yorkshire since 1980. We also offer private moorings in Sowerby Bridge, with full boatyard services and repairs.
Our fantastic team brings huge skill to looking after the boats, and great care to looking after our customers.
