About

Full Lake cruises run daily and take in the full length of Coniston Water with lively commentary by the crew about Coniston’s famous connections.

Cruises commence from Coniston Pier from 11am, daily from April until the end of October.

Groups fares available for 15 or more when booked in advance.
