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.
The experience departs from Bowness-on-Windermere, starting at Storrs Hall Hotel. This location provides easy access to the lake and is convenient for parking or public transport connections.
The route explores scenic areas of Lake Windermere, offering expansive views of the surrounding fells, woodland, and lakeside villages. Guests can enjoy both quiet stretches and gentle sailing, making the trip a relaxing way to experience the lake.
No previous sailing experience is required, and the activity is suitable for beginners. Guests should be comfortable moving around a small yacht and able to follow safety instructions provided by the skipper.
A relaxed attitude is ideal, whether you want to actively sail or simply enjoy the lake. Please bring weather-appropriate clothing, as conditions can change quickly on the water.
This experience is guided by an official pleasure boat licence holder with years of local knowledge. The skipper provides a friendly, relaxed environment, helping guests feel confident on the water.
Each trip is tailored to the group, allowing you to enjoy as much or as little sailing involvement as you wish. Whether steering the yacht yourself or sitting back to enjoy the scenery, the experience combines comfort, guidance, and personal attention.
