About
Sailing dinner cruise experience on Lake Windermere, we have a luxury private yacht on the lake which is fully licensed to serve food and drink. We offer short cruises on the lake for up to 8 people at a time, for either afternoon tea cruise, or full 4 course evening dining cruise freshly cooked and prepared by our on board French chef. We operate from Tuesday through to Sunday, from March to December. Do something different and come and join us on board for a relaxing but fun cruise on England's greatest Lake.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Took the red route cruise from Bowness to Ambleside and back, trip took 1 1/4 hours which was just right to see the stunningly beautiful scenery and the other lovely sights.
The on board commentary was very informative and interesting without being overpowering.
The boat was spotlessly clean in all areas and was smooth and quiet. Hospitality and services on board were very good and served with a genuine smile.
The cost for 2 people was below £30 and was incredibly good value for money.
All in all an amazing day out and highly recommended

Dave & Veronica - 10/10 Hosts; funny, knowledgeable and accommodating
Food - 10/10; best cooked and flavoured steak I've ever had
Boat/Sail - 10/10 - Dave is a modern Horatio Nelson (with better hair)
View - 10/10; Windermere, goes without saying... even if raining
Repeatability - 10/10; Hosts feel like friends and could imagine doing once per season

My friends and I did the afternoon tea/gin tour and it was absolutely brilliant! Hosts were great and we had such a laugh and a relaxing few hours on the lake! Some lovely pictures to keep too! We will definitely do it again xxx

Hands down an incredible experience while in the Lake District (even though it was drizzling)!
Veronica and Dave could not be more welcoming and the food they provide on the cruise was a delicious home-cooked meal - a meal very needed after eating at restaurants for a week.
It's the perfect opportunity to get out on the lake while enjoying great company with even better views.

We had a fabulous time on the yacht for my Friend Louise's 50 Birthday. Veronica & David were great hosts, picked some of us up from Bowness and took us back to the accommodation. Veronica was great in getting the atmosphere going and took some fantastic pictures of us all. The food was fab with the wine. Louise was very overwhelmed and the yacht is beautiful. Thank you for being such great hosts & for making my friends 50th birthday surprise a success.

Excellent evening on the lake in a gorgeous sail boat. The hosts were lovely polite and easy to talk to. The other guests were also delightful. The main event was the food and it was spectacular. The steak was fantastic as was the rest of the meal. If only we could have stayed on the boat overnight and had a cooked breakfast in the morning. 👌

Booked the experience for evening meal while on a short break at low-Woodard can honestly say the whole experience was magical made feel special from meeting Veronica on the jetty been welcomed aboard with the wife whilst waiting for another couple to join us
We set sail for what can only be described as a fantastically magical experience
The wife’s fear of boats was quickly combatted by the amazing hosting skills of Veronica and David the meal was 5 star ⭐️
We will certainly use this again

Bought this as a gift for my parents and ended up going along with my 9 year old daughter. We all had a fantastic time from start to finish ... the food was delicious and the surroundings were spectacular. Veronica and David were wonderful hosts and even let my daughter sail the yacht which made her day. Would highly recommend this and I look forward to trying out the other excursions.

Hi
If I wanted to book you for my uncles birthday - lunch or dinner for 4 people could we have a private party booking - no other guests on board? Could we also bring a very well behaved dog - an airdale?

Hi there, yes you can book the yacht privately. Not sure about the taking dogs on board but the owners are really helpful so just give them a call & I'm sure they would do what they can to accommodate
Contact number please?

The details are as the other responses. I would recommend booking without delay as they do get booked up quite quickly. It is really worth the prices charged as you are really well treated on the trip.

The dinner cruise with alcohol was £70 per head. If you look at sailing dinner cruises on the web all the answers should be there. You won’t be disappointed.
