Hire motor boats at Coniston Boating Centre

Take a moment to relax on one of our electric motor boats in the Lake District.

If you’ve come to the lakes to have a relaxing time with family and friends then our electric motor boats are the perfect way to make memorable moments. Our hire boats are easy to steer, meaning that anyone (including our four legged friends) can steer them around Coniston Water.

Plus with a backdrop as epic as The Old Man of Coniston and Grizedale forest, there is no better place in the Lake District to enjoy the freedom of driving your own electric motor boat.
