Windermere - probably the UK's best boating destination

With Windermere offering over 3,600 acres of water to explore, world-class Marinas, and the Lake District offering the highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants outside London, this is arguably the ideal place for family boating anywhere in the UK.

Regarded as some of the most scenic boating anywhere in the world....

When you're boating on Windermere you're surrounded by some of the world's most stunning scenery. At the northern end of the lake the magnificent Langdale Pikes dominate the backdrop. Heading south towards Bowness you're nestled among fabulous fells, beautiful bays, and all the while the serenity of the environment generates a feeling of calm. In the southern basin of Windermere there's the stunning Storrs Hall hotel, the tip of Gummers How visible to the east, and then numerous bays and alcoves before you're welcomed at the Lakeside Hotel for afternoon tea and drinks on the lawn.

Year-round boating in the heart of the Lake District

Imagine the adventures you and your family can have when you have a floating holiday home on Windermere. Not only is the boat there for you to take out and explore the lake itself, but it's also your base from which to explore the Lake District as a whole. Build memories, build a lifestyle, do something together that everyone can enjoy.
