Based in the Northern Lake District, near Keswick, Derwentwater Marina offers a wide range of water-sport activities to suit all ages and agilities. Whether you’re a complete novice, in need of a refresher or looking to perfect your skills, this is the perfect place to do it.
Hiring a boat is the perfect way to get out and explore the Islands and shoreline of Derwentwater.
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.
Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult on the water, and you should ensure that there are enough adults to supervise young people in your party. As a guide, one adult should be responsible for no more than 3 young people.
As well as hire activities, Derwentwater Marina offer tuition in the following sports, for those looking to learn in the Lakes:
- Paddle boarding,
- Canoeing,
- Kayaking,
- Sailing,
- Windsurfing,
- Group canoeing,
- Lake journeys,
- Wingsurfing,
- and for schools and youth groups.
All the ideas and none of the gear?
The Watersports Shop at Derwentwater Marina stocks a range of equipment, clothing and accessories for all your watersports needs. Or, if you’re heading up to the Lakes to do some shopping, the helpful and friendly shop staff will be happy to help you pick the perfect gift for the paddleboarder, canoeist, or kayaker in your life.
