Lake Cruises on Derwentwater
A cruise on Derwentwater is a very special way of discovering the Northern Lake District. Enjoy a lake cruise on one of the Keswick Launches and experience the beauty of Derwentwater with breathtaking views of the surrounding fells. Enjoy special views of Skiddaw, England’s fourth highest mountain, Catbells, and the ‘Jaws of Borrowdale’.
Take the 50 minute round boat trip or disembark at one of the eight jetties en-route and take a lakeland walk via well-marked paths to famous landmarks such as Ashness Bridge, Lodore Falls, Grange in Borrowdale, Brandelhow and Lingholm, holiday home of Beatrix Potter.
Hop on and off to enjoy a walk. Our four launches have open and covered decks and operate on a regular timetable throughout the year. Private launch hire is available for special events such as weddings and birthdays. Rowing boats and self-drive motor boats are also available to hire, so you can explore the lake at your own pace.
