Paddle Boards (SUP)

Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP) are the most popular craft we hire. Our Red boards are top of the range, with a variety of models available. You can paddle them standing or kneeling - it’s fun either way.  Wetsuits and buoyancy aids are included in the hire fee.

Single and Double Sit-On Kayaks

Sit-on kayaks are easy-to-use and an ideal choice for exploring the lake, whether on your own in a single or with a friend or child in a double.  Stable and easy to use, they have a moulded seat and footrests with a simple backrest.  Doubles can also be paddled by one adult making it a great choice for anyone who is looking for a boat with higher capacity.

Single and Double Sit-In Kayaks

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

Canoes

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 ‘Venture’ canoes which are fitted with extra buoyancy.  Canoes are paddled using a single bladed paddle.

Family Canoes

Our larger ‘family’ canoes can take up to 4 adults or a mix of adults and children. Fitted with two buoyancy chambers they are perfect for exploring and a family picnic on an island or on the beautiful shoreline along Derwent Water.  Canoes are paddled using a single bladed paddle.

Pedalos

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 Boats

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.

Tuition and Taster Sessions

We also offer tuition in Sailing, Windsurfing, Paddle boarding, Canoeing and Kayaking.  Please contact us for further information and prices.
