Experience Details

Experience the exclusivity of chartering a 10 metre Oceanis Clipper sailing yacht on England's largest natural lake, Windermere.

Get involved as much or as little as you like, or relax whilst you appreciate the yacht, amazing views and fresh Cumbrian air.

A very extensive and locally sourced ploughman's is served in the second half of the trip with lots of delicious homemade additions.

You may dine on deck if the weather permits, with views most restaurants can only dream of. We have a well stocked and reasonably priced bar on board, complimentary tea, coffee and soft drinks.

We even have a private bathroom and central heating!

Having sailed on Windermere for 20 years I have plenty of stories to tell you about the Lake and thoroughly enjoy showing you how to sail on it in my fabulous yacht.

What You’ll Experience

The 3 hour Ploughman's experience is a chance to get hands-on, sailing a 10 metre Beneteau Ocenis Clipper ocean going yacht. After a 90 minute sail, we find an anchorage in a secluded Windermere Bay and relax with a fabulous locally sourced and very extensive Ploughman's. You can dine on deck if the weather permits, or in the comfort of the spacious saloon. The yacht is equipped with a bathroom.
