2-hour skippered sailing on Windermere

Enjoy a two-hour skippered sailing experience across Windermere on one of our heritage boats. Glide around Windermere’s islands and hidden oases in Swallow, featured in the 2016 film adaptation of Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons, or Merlin, believed to be one of the oldest surviving Windermere 17 yachts still operating today.

Guided by an experienced skipper, this sailing trip offers the chance to unwind, take in the surrounding fells and enjoy Windermere from a completely different perspective.

Perfect for couples, friends or anyone looking for a unique and memorable way to explore the Lake District. This experience lasts approximately two hours and is ideal for two people.

Price: £180 on Swallow
