Boating on the Lake gives you over 5 square miles to explore and our quiet electric eco friendly hire boats are the ideal way to do it. Besides the standard windermere boat hire packages, which start at only £20 per hour – making them the best deal on the Lake – we are more than happy to examine any special requirements you have to make your Lakes stay complete.
Types of boat available to hire:
Pioner – suitable for up to 6 people
These are totally open boats ideally suited to the fishermen amongst you as the rod can be completely passed around the boat without snagging.
These boats are powered by small outboard motors steered and controlled from a central consol. We have found that they can also be popular with parties as they feel that, due to their openness, they more at one with the Lake and Wildlife.
Mystic – suitable for up to 6 people
These quiet eco-friendly electric boats comfortably seat 6 people and are so easy to drive.
Steering is natural, similar to a car, and the electric motor is controlled by a simple joy stick giving forward and reverse.

The boats have very comfortable seating for up to 10 people, however due to new regulations we can only accept bookings of up to six people. The Fantail is fitted with the latest style of economic electric motor drive. The boats are very easy to operate – controls are mounted in the central consul and operate in a similar fashion to the smaller Mystic boats.
Pink Fantail - suitable for up to 10 people
