timetable and fares for regular Coniston Launch services
Relax and enjoy a round trip on the boat or perhaps stop off at one of the jetties and catch a later sailing using the same ticket. If you break your Southern cruise at Brantwood, your ticket also allows you to return to Coniston jetty on the Northern Service. Round trip fares are shown below. You can also buy one way tickets for parts of these cruises - these fares are displayed at our jetties.
Northern service: 50 minute cruise around the north of the lake
Experience Coniston Water and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding area. See Bluebird's base, pass Holly Howe and learn the names of the fells.

Winter service
We will run 5 scheduled 40 minute round trips on many days throughout the winter subject to weather* and operational circumstances. We start at Coniston and call at Waterhead Hotel, Brantwood and Torver.
Brantwood House and the Jumping Jenny restaurant will be open daily, but from mid November until mid March they will NOT be open on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The Waterhead Hotel is open daily for morning coffee, light lunches, and afternoon tea. This is of course the Boat/Bus interchange. The Bluebird cafe at Coniston will be open most weekends and some weekdays throughout the winter.
We are pleased to carry groups of up to 40 people (discounts for 15 people or more) however we do need prior warning of this - please just give us a ring.
* Weather
We will not sail in wind over Force 3 (white caps), when the jetties are under water, or in ice. We make the decision on whether to sail at 10.00 each morning - so if the day improves you should check to see if we are running.
