Windermere Lake Cruises, Self Drive Boats

About

Escape the crowds and explore Lake Windermere at your own pace! Choose your adventure with Windermere Lake Cruises self-drive boat hire. Whether you crave the quiet charm of a classic rowboat or the effortless glide of an electric motorboat, we've got the perfect way to explore this iconic lake.

Rowboats: Experience the timeless appeal of rowing. Perfect for romantic outings or a gentle family adventure, soak in the stunning scenery at a relaxed pace. Explore hidden bays and drift amongst the islands with just the soft splash of oars.

Motorboats: Zip across the lake's tranquil waters with a modern, easy-to-operate electric motorboat. Hold up to six people for a fun-filled outing with friends and family. Take in panoramic views as you cruise effortlessly to your chosen destination. Our boats are speed-limited to the lake’s restrictions but are nearly silent allowing you to soak up both the sights and sounds on England’s largest natural lake. Pick from one hour hire (seeing roughly one quarter of Windermere) or 2-hour hires (seeing roughly half of Windermere).

Choose your starting point! Hire from Bowness Beach for instant access to the bustling village, Bowness Dock for a central pier location, or Waterhead, set near the peaceful town of Ambleside.

No experience needed – we provide full instructions and safety equipment. Book online now and set sail on your Windermere adventure!
