About

Max. Day Guests | 150 Max. Evening Guests | 150 Bedrooms | N/A Exclusive Use? | Yes

Enjoy a champagne reception in one of the most picturesque locations in England.

Set sail with us on a private charter and spend time celebrating with your guests, enjoying the beautiful scenery as you cruise around the lake. We offer a choice of vessels to suit your specific requirements from a small intimate celebration to bigger gatherings with music and food. We have a selection of caterers to choose from which means you can offer your guests everything from finger-licking canapes to a tempting buffet. Background music or live music can be arranged. You’re welcome to bring your own cake and make your speeches on board.

There are also options for an icebreaker cruise the evening before your wedding, allowing all the guests to meet and mingle before the big day. Alternatively, gather friends and relatives together on the morning after the wedding for a cruise and walk to clear those fuzzy heads!  

Ullswater, often regarded as one of the most beautiful lakes in England, is a truly magical place, with pristine waters reflecting the towering Lakeland fells that surround the shores. Shaped like the letter Z, the lake meanders through the surrounding mountains, from the rolling hills in the north to the mighty peaks in the south where the Helvellyn mountain range dominates the far shore. It's a landscape that has inspired some of our most famous writers and poets for centuries, most notably William Wordsworth.

Charter prices are available upon request. Please contact us for a charter pack or to arrange a tour of our facilities. We can advise on the most suitable vessel for your requirements.

We look forward to welcoming you on board and making this very special occasion a day you'll never forget.
