About the centre
Bowness-on-Windermere, Windermere
Operated by Sailing Windermere, a partner of adventuro.
Step aboard a 23-foot Jeanneau yacht and enjoy a private four-hour sailing experience on Lake Windermere. Guests can take the helm under guidance or simply relax on deck while soaking in the lake and surrounding fells. This is an easy, private sailing opportunity perfect for friends or small groups.
Your experience begins at the meeting point, where your skipper will provide a safety briefing and introduce the yacht. You’ll have the chance to familiarise yourself with the boat and decide whether to take an active role in sailing or enjoy the journey from the deck.
As you sail across Lake Windermere, take in views of the fells, shoreline, and charming lakeside villages. The skipper shares insights into local history and the lake environment while allowing guests to participate in sailing tasks like adjusting sails and steering.
During the journey, there is space to relax below deck, access to washroom facilities, and fresh water onboard. The route can be adjusted to suit the group’s interests, ensuring a calm and personalised experience for everyone.
