Wildcats Cruise from Coniston Pier.

Alison_G, Aug 2026

The cruise itself was excellent and the commentary regarding the history of the surrounding areas and being able to see little coves where the Swallows and Amazons author gained inspiration to write his book. It is a worthwhile trip and nice to be able to get off at Brantwood which is definitely worth a visit.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for the positive comments. We are glad you enjoyed seeing Wildcat Island and the surrounding coves. The Launch Team

A floating pleasure

The full boating experience was good from Start to finish,with stunning views surrounding Coniston water,and the host was very informative of the area.

Shame about the weather.

Ian_T, Sep 2024

There had been so much rain that the lake was too high for the boats to operate. However I would like to commend the company for letting me know, moving the booking and then refunding the money easily.
