Our Boat Hire on Ullswater is run from a stunning lakeshore location, and our usual hire area includes 3 beautiful islands and numerous beaches. Perfect for exploring and picnics!
Our fleet of sailing boats, Canadian canoes, canoe rafts (perfect for families) and kayaks may be hired for any period from an hour to a full day. Safety boat cover is provided. Buoyancy aids are provided and we ask that they are worn at all times.
Hire is normally restricted to the (quite extensive) area that is within range of our rescue boat and our field of view. Please listen to the hire briefing as we may need to restrict this area in the event of poor weather.
(Sorry, no power boats, inflatables or rowing boats are available)
We have sailing dinghies for every ability and temperament, and if you hanker after a more traditional approach then try one of our ‘Traditional boats’. These tend to offer a more sedate sail and are ideal for families.
Our canoes are ‘Canadian’ style open canoes for two or three people. They are made of tough plastic and are easy to paddle. We can raft 2 canoes together, great for extra stability, families with small kids etc. We also have 1 and 2 person sit-on kayaks for the more adventurous who don’t mind getting wet.
(well behaved dogs are allowed at your own risk)
