ALBERT DOCK YELLOW BOAT CRUISE Albert Dock, Liverpool Lancashire England

The Yellow Boat Cruise

Liverpool's Yellow Boat Cruise crew members are so proud of the city's 300-year old dock history that they've devised a new water-based heritage tour to share their passion with their passengers.

Captains Dennis and Collin have a wealth of nautical experience and an extraordinary knowledge of Liverpool's south docks history. They created this diverse and unique tour with crewmen Paul and Gareth, to take passengers on a personal, informative and intriguing voyage around Liverpool's impressive south docks system, exploring the city's dock-based legacy and its transformation into a popular visitor attraction.

Captain Dennis says, 'I was in the merchant navy for 40 years and have captained many vessels including the Royal Iris and the Daffodil ferries on the Mersey, but this is the first time I've had the opportunity to speak to my passengers and share my passion for the city. Liverpool's port legacy is fascinating and I really believe that people will find our tour interesting and -above all -entertaining'.

The Yellow Boat Cruise has teamed up with wine specialists Vinea and restaurant Gusto to design a range of packages to suit couples and groups who want to enjoy the Yellow Boat crew's unique tour of Liverpool's south docks. To complement the 40-minute water tour, passengers can choose from tea or coffee and cake, a two-course meal or a wine tasting session to complete their Liverpool experience.
