Ullswater Wake and Surf
Discover the thrill and tranquility of Ullswater on a luxury boat charter. Perfect for groups, it offers watersports, scenic cruising, and personalized fun in the Lake District.
Ullswater Wake and Surf operates from Howtown on Ullswater, offering a range of guided watersports, equipment hire and coached sessions across both Waterside and Park Foot locations. The business provides wakesurfing, kneeboarding, paddleboarding, kayak hire, canoe hire, rowing boat hire and skippered luxury boat charters that accommodate groups up to eight for watersport activity and sightseeing. Several activities include professional coaching and safety briefings, and most bookings come with all necessary equipment supplied.
Sessions are structured to suit different ages and experience levels: beginners can try paddleboarding, sit-on-top kayaks and kneeboarding — with coaching aimed at quick, safe learning — while experienced riders can join the Waterside Surf Club and coached wakesurfing sessions. Park Foot offers additional outdoor activities such as private axe throwing and archery sessions for groups, plus paddleboard and kayak hire for exploring the lake from multiple launch points.
The operation emphasises safety, small group sizes and qualified instruction. Equipment ranges from wakesurf and kneeboard gear to canoes and sit-on-top kayaks, with lifejackets and safety briefings included. The Waterside Surf Club runs weekly Friday evening sessions from May through September, and the Waterside Luxury Boat Charter provides skippered options for groups wanting a relaxed or sport-focused day on Ullswater. All descriptions and session formats reflect the provider’s stated offerings at Howtown and Park Foot on Ullswater.
