Welcome to Coniston Boating Centre in the Lake District

With the easing of restrictions, you’ll be able to head to the shore of Coniston like the olden days. There’s a lot to love about July 19th - it feels like it’s been a long time coming.

It’s important to us that we strike the right balance between loosening up the restrictions, whilst also being mindful of our customers’ and crews’ continued safety and well-being. With that in mind, we wanted to reassure you of a few things. Below is what we're keeping in place:

• Online bookings only.
• Safe distance queuing system.
• Contact-free check-in at kiosk.
• Contact-free safety briefings.
• Every boat is sanitised between each trip.
• Every buoyancy aid is sanitised between each use.
• The public toilets here are open.
• We have a staggered booking process to avoid crowds, to book multiple boats you need to book multiple time slots. For example if you are wanting to book two kayaks at 10am you would need to book one at 10:00 and one at 10:15. We will then do our best to ensure you go out at the same time.

It’s been a tricky year or so for everyone and we wanted to say thank you for all your continued support and kind wishes. You’ve supported us through all the varying restrictions that have been thrown our way, and come rain or shine, we have appreciated seeing you.
