Freedom the powerboat
All wheelchair access to the lake
Freedom of the lake
Freedom is our wheelchair accessible powerboat.
She was named ‘Freedom' in a competition because she is a super enabler. Not only can anyone roll on the super wide ramp and spend the day exploring the lake but with the extending ramp we can access all sorts of exciting activites like bushcraft, fishing, picnicking and pirate style raids for chips in Bowness.
Having a powerboat that can provide safety cover for people with any need also creates opportunities for those that can be transferred into the canoes or sailng canoes to get out there and try our other watersports. And for those that can’t transfer you can still be part of a family sailing or canoeing day.

Freedom Holidays

Arrive everywhere like James Bond.
Pubs, parks, top tourist attractions, an accessible zipwire and National Trust sites can all be found on the lakeside and accessible by powerboat.
Freedom Fishing
Wheelchair accessible fishing on Windermere.
Freedom is a great vessel to fish from with a flat bottom to move around, space for a table to put your gear on and a drop front to give unrestricted access to the water.
Her ramp makes her easy to board and her extension ramp means we can arrange pickups from most places on the lake.

Freedom can be used to access our water edge bushcraft sites.
