Sail N Dine
About
Sail N Dine proudly sails the glittering waters of Lake Windermere, offering a unique blend of adventure, fine dining, and hospitality that has kept guests coming since 1986. From the moment you step aboard the sleek Beneteau 323 Oceanis Clipper – affectionately known as "Maddie Too" – you’re greeted by panoramic decks, a cozy cabin dining area, and the mouth‑watering aromas of a freshly prepared ploughman’s meal. Whether you’re midnight‑kitten riding the dawn tide or an intrepid family chasing sunset horizons, the skipper John and his team escort you through a personalised sailing lesson or a relaxed cruise, complemented by a selection of local wines, craft beers, and homemade pastries. Operational from 20 March to 31 October, Sail N Dine remains open every day except Wednesday and Thursday, ensuring a flexible schedule that meets the needs of solo travellers, couples, and corporate groups alike. The 90‑minute exclusive sail caters to those who want an intimate, private experience for up to six guests – ideal for hen and stag parties, birthdays, and team‑building events. Beyond the joy of sailing, guests uncover the hidden gems of the Lake District: clear alpine vistas, wildlife spotting, and the gentle hush of the surrounding hills, all while enjoying the best local produce served aboard. Sail N Dine is more than a boat rental; it’s a memorable chapter in your travel story, celebrated by returning visitors and newcomers alike.
