Boat Hire in the Lake District

There’s no more authentic way of getting around the Lake District than aboard a boat. If you are thinking of taking to the waters of Windermere, Ullswater, Coniston and Derwentwater, all four lakes have watersport centres where you can hire your own boat – whether a row boat, a sail boat or even an electric one.

If you are looking for lake cruises, check out our page on lake cruises in the Lake District, Cumbria.

You may leave the Lake District, but once you’ve been, it’ll never leave you.
