WELCOME TO NICHOL END MARINE
Set in a stunning and convenient location, Nichol End Marine lies on the western shore of beautiful Derwentwater, in the scenic Lake District. The lake is home to many delightful bays, beaches and islands, just waiting for you to explore; and is surrounded by mountains and valleys, with some of the best walks in the Lake District.
Our clients enjoy a happy, safe and relaxing environment with unrivalled scenery in which to enjoy their first or regular adventures on the lake.
Kayak Hire
Single, Double, Trio or Quad Kayaks are a great way to have fun, share family adventures or get fit while exploring the beauty of Derwentwater.
Paddleboard Hire
Gliding gracefully across the water or toppling in with much hilarity…paddle boarding increases in popularity every year. Multiple sized boards available.
Canoe Hire
Fast enough to explore the lake, stable enough to stay dry (usually) and raftable for family adventures, canoeing remains a favourite way to explore the stunning scenery.
Rowing Boat Hire
Is there anything more romantic than sharing a rowing boat and a picnic in stunning surroundings?
Sailing Boat Hire
Experience the joy of sailing across the water with the wind in your hair.
