Sailing on lake Windermere - We sailed today with Ian & the whole experience was so much fun! He is such a lovely bloke, so easy to talk to & so knowledgeable on the subject & local area. I was nervous but was put at ease straight away. The trip round the lake whilst actually being in control was amazing! I'm so glad we chose this interactive experience over a tour. It was so great to be hands on. Thank you so much to Ian - will be highly recommending you to everyone! We will be back!!

Brilliant fun! - This was the grandchildren first experience of sailing and they loved it. Ian was brilliant with them, allowing them to feel as if they were in complete charge of the boat and giving them real confidence in decision making.

Truly exceptional - A great experience! Despite my wife and kids being certain I had booked this to try and kill them, it was a great experience and a lot of fun. 100% a key family memory and a story that will be told for years! Thank you so much.

Amazing, fun and educational - My partner booked Ian’s amazing boat as a surprise, as I’ve never tried sailing before, and it was a dream. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable but he made the experience fun, safe and pleasurable for both of us. He was also patient with my partner who hadn’t sailed for a while but was keen to get as hands on as possible. Really also helpful with some restaurant recommendations for us to go after the experience. We will be coming back to the Lakes again and book to get the boat out with Ian. Can’t recommend this experience enough, thank you Ian!
