Derby Riverboat cruise on the River Derwent

The Derby & Sandiacre Canal Trust run the electric riverboat “Outram” on a 45 minute cruise from Derby city centre towards Darley Abbey, along a stretch of the River Derwent that once lined with industry. The boat only takes 12 passengers, so we have booked it for two trips, giving members a choice of dates. Meet 2.00pm at the Phoenix Green Boat Station on the East Bank of the river in central Derby (postcode DE1 2EB). The river can be crossed on foot from the city centre via the Millennium footbridge near the UK Museum of Making. Please note that boarding the boat is via a swimming pool style ladder.

12 places available on each date - £10 per person
