Twenty miles of coastline beckon, with spots for wild swimming and even an island or two to navigate. You can learn to sail on Ullswater, the more experienced can hire a traditional Lune Whammel (Swallows and Amazons style), or if you prefer a skipper so you can watch the world go by you can schedule your own yacht charter. Sailing is best from May/June to late October

Currently, due to Covid restrictions Glenridding are unable to offer Swallows and Amazons experiences. You can hire Lune Whammels here from £45 per hour.
Step off our jetty on to your own skippered boat and take in the fells from the best place in the valley. John has 35 years sailing experience and has had boats on Ullswater for the past 12 years, so can take you to away to quiet places rarely explored. Please call or email for prices.
Ullswater has a long and rich heritage of sailing. Each year there are a number of regatta, including the Daffodil Regatta in April and the Lord Birkett Trophy in July.
