We are thrilled to mark the official relaunch of The Riverfront York, following a significant renovation and re-brand which has seen the transformation of our entire site and investment into our much-loved restaurant, Bosun’s.
Formerly known as the Boatyard, our complex has now been renamed to The Riverfront York, with the aim of showcasing the vision of owners, Phil and Kerrie, who completed the takeover of the full site in December 2023, which is to become a destination where visitors can stay, play and dine.
The site wide transformation of The Riverfront York has included an upgrade of our caravan and motorhome park with a new layout, roads and extensive groundworks to improve its amenities and spacious pitches. Each of our six unique stay cabins and houseboat have been extensively refurbished inside and out to offer both comfort and charm. Investment has also been put into flood defences to further protect the entire site along with improvements to access for disabled customers.
Further investment in the caravan and motorhome park shower and toilet block and updates to the electric meters at the pitches are planned for the off-season to ensure our facilities are even better for visitors in 2025.
At the heart at The Riverfront York lies Bosun’s Restaurant which is now led by Executive Chef, Kurtus Auty, who competed on MasterChef The Professionals and previously worked for The Gordon Ramsay Group and The Cliff in Barbados. We have exciting plans to continue to develop our menu and offering to ensure guests can enjoy our contemporary cuisine in a truly unique location.
We are proud that the expansion of The Riverfront York has resulted in the creation of new jobs with 30 local people now employed in full time and part time roles and further recruitment plans in place for the coming months, as well as partnerships with local colleges to offer training for its catering department.
Speaking of our relaunch, co-owner of The Riverfront York, Kerrie Cook commented: "We are thrilled to unveil the new and improved Riverfront York. Our goal is to create a destination that celebrates the beauty of our surroundings while offering unparalleled experiences for our guests.
Whether you're joining us for a meal at Bosun’s, staying a while at our beautiful caravan and motorhome park, or simply hiring one of our boats with your family, there’s so much to offer at The Riverfront York. We look forward to welcoming both new and returning visitors to experience what we’ve created."
