Ferry Nab
Ferry Nab
Ferry Nab is a public boat launch facility on the eastern shore of Windermere, within walking distance of Bowness-on-Windermere.
The site is managed by Westmorland and Furness Council and includes a main slipway set between marina pontoons, alongside a smaller, steeper secondary slipway suitable for hand-launching. The facility can get busy during summer months.
A marina office sits at the top of the main slipway where launch fees are paid. In addition to the slipway, Ferry Nab offers marina berths for boats up to 14 metres.
The site is noted as a more accessible launch option for disabled paddlers, and a car park with over 120 spaces — including dedicated disabled bays — accommodates both towing vehicles and trailers.
