You are here: Home > Things to Do > Windermere Lake Cruises, Self Drive Boats
With only a basic knowledge of forwards, backwards, left and right required, there’s no better way to explore the northern half of England’s longest lake than with a Windermere Lake Cruises self-drive motor boat.
Each with a quiet, electric motor, our smaller boats are easy to drive, with no previous experience required.
Go at your own pace in your own space for either a 1 or 2 hour session with up to six people per boat.
Full safety instructions will be given, with a sailing guide to the lake and buoyancy aids provided for everyone on board. We even have a rescue team on standby if you get lost!
Available at Bowness, sit back and relax on comfy padded seating and enjoy the lake whatever the weather, thanks to each boat’s roll-back roof.
Even better, accompanied children under the age of 16 can sail in a self-drive for free!
