JULY 2009: One of our boats is currently not running as we are awaiting a replacement electric motor from the USA. As a result, we are not offering our southern service or the "Swallows and Amazons" and "Campbells on Coniston" cruises. Our red route northern service is running as normal. We apologise for any inconvenience and hope to resume our normal service before long.
