Launching Facilities

We would like to welcome you to our Centre, whether it is for a short stay or perhaps longer. All of our Launching prices include:

Car-parking

Launchers lounge area with free teas and coffees

Showers and changing facilities

Tractor launch and retrieval (for larger boats)

WiFi

We pride ourselves on not being a yacht club – we are a group of like-minded people who love sailing and love Ullswater. Unlike a more formal club there are no duties expected of you, we just want you to come and enjoy our facilities, meet with friends old and new and have fun sailing in such a beautiful location.

The Centre is normally open daily from 10am – 5pm. Safety Boat cover is provided in sight of our Centre within these times. We are always happy to assist if you need help with your rigging or need advice on sailing on Ullswater.

If you keep your boat here for the season you will receive our annual Newsletter to find out what’s been happening at The Spit, and we also regularly send out an e-newsletter.

You can find us on Facebook and Instagramwhere you can also share photos of your own sailing adventures, which we always like to see!
