🚤🔥 Safety First at Skipton Boat Trips! 🔥🚤

We’re always committed to keeping our passengers safe, and this week, we’ve taken that to the next level! We've just had a brand-new fire detection and suppression system installed on our boats, in the engine room of Cobbydale and Dalesman, in line with the latest safety regulations set by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).

This system, which enhances the firefighting equipment we already had, provides an extra layer of protection for everyone on board. The installation was carried out by specialists all the way from Southampton, ensuring we meet the highest standards under the updated Safety Standards for Passenger Ships on Domestic Voyages.

Your safety is our priority, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your trip knowing you're in safe hands. 🚢💙
