For more than 100 years, visitors to Windermere have enjoyed taking to the water in traditional wooden rowing boats. Today, you can continue that tradition or choose one of our easy-to-handle self-drive boats. Available to hire by the hour from Waterhead or Bowness Beach, they’re a relaxed and memorable way to experience England’s most famous lake.
As a family of four we had a fantastic time on the boat. Easy to use and lots of friendly and helpful people showing you everything plus the weather was brilliant so couldn’t have gone any better. Would highly recommend this and cannot wait to come back now thank you very much. ~Liam. Google Reviews.
Great trip on the lake in the boat. Very careful about safety instructions and spotlessly clean and well looked after boat. Highly recommended! ~Fi M. Google Reviews.
Highlight of our visit was taking a boat out around the lake. The staff were super friendly, informative, helpful and they were great with our dog who was even allowed on board! Beautiful way to see the lake and thankfully we were blessed with the weather. Would 100% recommend. Laura McNamara. Google Reviews
Fantastic time hiring a boat for an hour. Third year in a row we have done it and it's always excellent. Book online as it does get fully booked. Easy, swift service once we arrive and great staff. Highly recommend! ~Morgan Ditchburn. Google Reviews.
