Rowing Boat - 3 hours

Rowing boats at Derwentwater offer a delightful way to spend an afternoon, whether you are seeking a romantic outing or a family adventure. These boats are sturdy, stable, and easy to handle, making them ideal for children and adults alike. Families can enjoy helping to row, taking turns, or simply resting and soaking in the peaceful scenery. Children must always be supervised by an adult, and if older children take out their own boat, an adult must stay within a minute’s row to ensure safety. Short sessions are recommended for first-timers, and the staff carefully assess conditions, abilities, and weather on the day to ensure a safe experience. In the event that rowing is not possible due to adverse conditions, an alternative activity or a refund will be offered. Rowing boats also provide an excellent way to enjoy a scenic picnic or a gentle ride around the lake while observing wildlife and nature.

Guests are advised to bring suitable clothing depending on the weather. On sunny days, sunglasses, a hat, sun lotion, and a bottle of water are recommended. For cooler or wet conditions, warm, waterproof, and windproof clothing is advisable, and a blanket for passengers can be useful. Snacks, scones, or a picnic can enhance the experience and add to the fun. Footwear should be suitable for being near water, and extra clothing or a towel may come in handy for younger children. Rowing boats offer a simple yet memorable way to enjoy time on the water, creating lasting memories for couples and families alike while exploring the beauty of Derwentwater.
