The Keswick Launch Company

Enjoyed a round trip of Derwentwater.The next day attempted to board at both Lingholm and Nichol End both of which are well sign posted and on the company website. These jetties have been out of use for at least 3 years according to locals we chatted too.Walked back to Keswick.

We went there without much information or experience, but we were able to navigate through. There's a large parking space and space designated for buses and coaches. Small shops and restaurants nearby. You can buy a ticket for a boat cruise - paddle boats, self driving auto, and touring boats that can seat almost 200 people available. Your ticket can be for a single destination or round journey. A round trip takes about 45-60min. You can get a map to help you with navigation on site. There's a waterfall on one site. Hotels and other accommodations are around but could be expensive if not booked earlier on. There's a hotel and spa near the waterfall. You can bring your own boat to the lakeside and ride into the lake, with no restrictions or payment. There's a beautiful garden around. You can feed the duck and take pictures (duck food 50p). Overall a lovely experience

Recommended by TripAdvisor to visit Keswicks only, (to my knowledge) boat tour of Derwent water while on vacation here for the first time.Beautiful day, sun, low breeze and a slight crisp in the air to uncover the view of the peaks on the mountains. Arrived at launch sites car park, where, I was looking to book 3 hour slot via the 'Mipermit' app, this then could allow me to log on and extend the time while out on the tour, if needed...however, the app did not work - we were presented with the error message of 'error occured as no destination was selected' - even though 72223 was selected. - opted for the old school" machine option

50 min derwentwater round trip or could go point to point to incorporate a walk. Not wheelchair accessible but we managed with a large buggy. Scenery stunning

Beautiful historic boata operating a frequent service around the lake. Skippers are great boat handlers but I suppose they've had load of practice!

Fun boat trips around Derwent water, amazingly dogs welcome too!

Great launch operating on Derwentwater from Keswick. Boats leave from the lakeside every half hour until 3.30 pm in the summer, alternating between clockwise and anticlockwise routes. Stopping off at various jetties around the lake with terrific views of the fells.If you sit outside at the front you will get splashed!

Amazing views from the whole trip round.Inner peace and a sense of calm can be found on the lake.Really good prices for a day ticket. Can hop on or off and any other dock but we stayed on for the full hour. We booked for 1 adult and 2 children and they loved it.Can also buy duck food for 50p which my boys loved doing before boarding.Just perfect!

Excellent tour on the river. We stopped off to see the water falls but without a map and no signage we were unable to find them. Like a number of other people walking around looking. Other than that an excellent day out

This was one of my higlights, of my week, in the Lake District.Dog friendly and free.It was a reasonable price of 12.50 for hop on hop off. We went round the lake once which takes 50 minutes and then went round again and got off to explore.Staff were very friendly and approachable.A beautiful and safe way to exore the Lake.There is a car park a 3 minute walk from here.I would recommend this boat than the others as more of a hidden gem and quieter than Windmere Lake.
