What to do and see in Bowness-on-Windermere, England: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

April 2021 marks 35 years of trading and my 14th season, Sail N Dine is the longest running yachting business on Windermere. I operate from Friday to Tuesday and offer 3 different experiences. The 10.30 to 1.30 lunch sail for up to 6 people gives a hands on sailing experience with a fantastic lunch (Sat, Sun, Mon & Tue). The evening sail leaves at 6pm and is a taste of true yachting, eating and drinking out on the Lake! Your 4 course dinner is cooked by me, using the finest local produce and cooked to your specification, whilst the conversation (and wine)flows! I take from 2 to 6 guests on a private basis only (Sat, Mon & Tue). I also offer a 2 hour private afternoon experience without food (Fri & Sun). You must have guessed by now that I am completely a one man band! I am receptionist, chauffeur, wine waiter, skipper, chef and washer upper! Have a look at my website for details, prices, availability and booking and if you have any questions please give me a call or drop me an email.
