Skippered Routes & Sessions

Quiet Windermere bay with gentle wake from a passing boat

Bay Taster Loop

Jetty to Jetty

£52 per person

A neat link between two jetties: board at Bowness, step off near cafes for a warm drink, then return on an easy line with soft speeds.

First-Time Brief

£39 per person

Dockside primer for new guests: what to wear, how seating works, and simple hand signals so everyone feels at ease underway.

Clean mooring lines, fenders and a tidy deck ready for boarding

Evening Drift

£49 per person

A soft-light outing with short stops by calm water. If wind shifts, the route simply tucks behind a nearer point for smoother water.

How We Operate

Lakeside table with route card, timings and spare jackets neatly set

Sessions are built around steady timings and local knowledge. Routes keep to calm sections where possible, with clear notes on seating, jackets, and simple lake etiquette. Commentary stays practical—points, bays, and safe turns—so the view and quiet do most of the talking.

Groups are small and boarding is straightforward. If weather or lake traffic changes, the skipper adjusts the order of stops or shortens a leg to keep things comfortable. The idea is easy time on the water and a clear plan from dock to dock.

Guest FAQs

Is it suitable for first-time visitors?

Yes—short sessions include a clear dockside brief, with easy seating and steady speeds. First-Time Brief is a simple start.

What if the lake gets busy?

We prefer calmer windows and use sheltered lines between points. When traffic builds, the skipper pauses or changes the sequence.

Can we take photos on board?

Handheld pictures are fine while seated. Tripods and drones are not used during sessions.

What about rain or wind?

Lake weather shifts often; the route adapts with shorter legs and nearby shelter. Layers and soft-soled shoes are recommended.

How many people join?

Small groups—typically six to eight—so boarding, seating and views stay comfortable. Weekday private slots are available.
