The Legend of the Ouse started in 2012 as an idea …

Why not a floating BBQ ?

Over the years the raft and the team have grown. In 2023 we’re bringing something even bigger and redder for our week afloat the Ouse. Throughout our time we've always had great support and help from local businesses and people in Yorkshire, as well as along the Ouse.

York rescue boat keeps us on the raft and all of York safe every year. We’d like to raise as much as we possibly can to help them continue their incredible work!!

York Rescue Boat is an independent lifeboat and search and rescue charity, every single member of the team is a professional volunteer, no one receives a wage. All monies raised through this page will go to help fund our weekly prevention and rescue patrols on the River Ouse in York as well as our education program in schools, youth groups and university's teaching the fundamentals of water safety
