Boat Hire

Hire a boat on Derwent Water

Hiring a boat is the perfect way to get out and explore the Islands and shoreline of Derwent Water. The Summer hire season runs from April through to the end of October, with a choice of Paddle Boards, Kayaks, Canoes, Rowing Boats and Pedalos available. When choosing your craft you should think about who is going afloat (ages, experience, who is sharing boats etc.). Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult on the water and you should ensure that you have an appropriate number of adults for the number of children. We will give you a general briefing on where to go on the lake but you should only hire craft that you are confident you and your party can manage. Please contact us if you would like some advice on what to hire.

2024 HIRE SEASON: 29th March (Good Friday) to 271th October.
