BOWNESS-ON-WINDERMERE WEATHER
I think the reviews for Sail n Dine speak for themselves. We had a wonderful time, John the skipper has a wealth of knowledge about the area. You can also... read more have a go at sailing too on a lovely yacht. It could not have been any better highly recommend.
Fortunately we are near enough to be back soon.

We didn’t know what to expect as we had been bought this experience as a gift, John approached us at the meeting point on a grey drizzly morning, after asking... read more our names the next question was “have you got waterproofs? to which we answered no, anyhow we could only get wet. We followed John down to the yacht and he put up a canopy and dried off the seating area for us, we boarded and off we set for a private tour of Windermere, John is very knowledgeable about the area and told us so much, you get to see things from the water you never would normally, and he has lots of nuggets of info he shares. We both had a go at piloting the yacht which was very enjoyable, after around an hour and a half we dropped anchor and John served us with a lovely drop of Merlot which we enjoyed whilst he prepared lunch. We were invited below deck to enjoy a lovely medley of local foods, and some of his and his mums homemade delights, a very nice fruit loaf to finish, followed with a nice cup of coffee. All the while the conversation flowed very easily and the time passed by, up with the anchor and back to the marina with my wife Gill at the wheel, John took over to park us up, overall it was a much better experience than we envisaged and we would recommend this to anyone, if you get the opportunity just book with John you won’t regret it!
