About us

A family-run boat on Rutland Water since 1986

Rutland Water Cruises operates boat trips around the reservoir during daylight hours from March / April (Easter) to October each year. We look forward to welcoming you aboard.

The boat

Up to 110 passengers across two decks, with all-weather cover in the lower saloon. A fully licensed bar, including a fantastic selection of gins from Multum Gin Parvo. Catering is available for groups by prior arrangement.

The route

The Belle sails from Whitwell on the North Shore and calls in at Normanton on the South Shore. Enjoy the scenery amidst the sailors, anglers and waterbirds while listening to commentary on points of interest.

Journey time: approx. 45 minutes return

Accessibility

Accessible for wheelchair users from Whitwell Harbour for round-trips (lift 250kg SWL). There is a vehicle drop-off area beside the pier.
