Paddle Board Hire (SUP)

Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP) are the most popular craft we hire & our Red boards are top of the range (we have a variety of different models). You can paddle them standing or kneeling - it’s fun either way.
 

Canoe Hire

Canoes are a popular boat for exploring the lake - perfect for taking a picnic and visiting an island or the beautiful shoreline along Derwent Water. We have a fleet of modern “Mad River” canoes which are fitted with extra buoyancy. Canoes are paddled using a single bladed paddle.
 

Single Sit-On Kayak Hire

One of our most popular craft to hire the single sit on top kayak is stable & easy to use. It has a moulded seat and footrests with a simple backrest.
 

Double Sit-On Kayak Hire

A sit on double kayak is an easy to use craft - an ideal choice for exploring the lake. It is great for either 2 adults or an adult & child. A double sit on kayak can also be paddled by one adult making it a great choice for anyone who is looking for a boat with higher capacity.
 

Single Sit-In Kayak Hire

Our fleet of modern  kayaks are great fun to use & ideal for exploring Derwent Water. We have a mixture of “Dagger Katana 9.7s and Venture Flex”  kayaks.

Pedalo Hire

Great fun for all the family - two of you pedal and steer the boat with a simple joystick control. Because of the stability of this craft & the open space at the front this is a popular choice for people with young children.
 

Rowing Boat Hire

The classic boat of The Lake District remains a firm favourite perfect for couples & families. Pack up a picnic and have a great time exploring Derwent Water.
 

Family Canoe Hire

Canoes are a popular boat for exploring the lake - perfect for taking a picnic and visiting an island or the beautiful shoreline along Derwent Water. We have two 'family' canoes which are fitted with two buoyancy chambers.  Canoes are paddled using a single bladed paddle.

Derwentwater Marina is a busy Marina on Derwentwater offering boat hire, watersports shop & chandlery, berthing, boat sales and self-catering apartments. Hiring a boat is the perfect way to get out & explore Derwent Water.  We will give you a general briefing about where to go on the lake but you should only hire craft that you are confident you and your party can manage.
