Brilliant day out sailing from here on Lake Windermere! Great instructions on use, which as a first time boater were essential, didn't want to crash or run aground! Such a peaceful experience on the lake. Had the warrior boat and would highly recommend as was clean and comfortable. It drives like a car steering wheel, but took me a bit of time to figure out straight as it's very fine adjustments and the water. But don't let this put you off as soon after starting you get the hang of it, and it's a big lake so plenty of space to not have to worry. Was mostly worried about parking back in marina, but again clear instructions on what to do were given and someone guides you in so they really make everything easy here. Was late in setting off, but this was because the boat was returned late so no fault of the business and to be fair they did say to take the full 3 hours still so this is great service. I did though have it back within 3 hours as didn't want to then have it knock on to other customers with delays. Would highly recommend and hire for longer than the standard 2 hours if you can as you'll get to see so much more of the lake. 2 hours is around half the lake you'll get whether that's the North or South you do. We'll worth the price!

Love love love hiring the boat from here. Theres a car park(pay and display)right next to it with public toilets near by(50p). Easy to find and locate, we got sent a code to open the gate as we had an early slot however got told that this is not needed or valid.. When we arrived we got a briefing on which areas of the water to avoid and what not... we was provided with a map which was useful when docking. We were shown how to steer the boat - it is very simple! Staff were very friendly and lots of information provided. The boat we hired was an 8 seater, good sized and rain cover provided if needed. The views are amazing, breath taking. Docking is pretty simple if you want to go get on/off the boat for the toilet,walk or a coffe. We went furthest North we could, docked, had a coffe and scone at the local cafe and headed back all within a 3 hour slot. Would highly recommend atleast 2 hours on the boat.
We booked a standard boat for 3 hours for myself and my husband, plus our dog! It was great, we loved it. The team were very helpful before we set off, giving us clear safety and other instructions. We were a little nervous as we had never rented a boat on Windermere before, but they put our minds at rest completely. We would recommend a 3 hour rental, as we don't think 2 hours would be long enough. We picked a great day for it, as the weather was glorious and the views are simply outstanding.
Nice little scenic spot to stop for a while, few shops dotted around for snacks and gifts. Self drive boat hire for those who would enjoy it. Recommended!
When the weather is sunny and warm, the wind and water gentle and the folk you are with ideal then there would need to be a near catastophe for this report to be negative. As there was no hitch, no failure or fault, just speedy, easy, friendly instructions and two hours of relaxing safe cruising in a newly cleaned boat, then this is a truly deserved 5 out of 5. Some activities in the Lake District can be over priced.... this one is fair and good value. A helpful point... if in a car, arrive in the area at LEAST 45 minutes before your booking as parking and accessing a ticket can take ages.
