Waterhead Marine is a self-drive boat hire point situated at the northern tip of Windermere, near Ambleside.

Operated by Windermere Lake Cruises, it sits right on the waterfront outside the Waterhead Coffee Shop and is just a two-minute walk from the main Ambleside (Waterhead) Pier.

The location offers a peaceful, scenic setting with views across the lake toward the surrounding fells. The hire point is accessible by bus and is within a short walk of pay-and-display parking.

It serves as a convenient launching point for exploring Windermere by water, with the full length of England's longest lake open to those heading south toward Bowness and beyond.
