At Shepherds, we have been a trusted name in boating since the 1890s, evolving as a family-run business with a deep understanding of what truly matters to our clients. We know that investing in a boat is about more than just ownership—it's about enhancing quality leisure time with family and creating a personal retreat from the demands of everyday life. Located in the heart of the Lake District, we are proud members of this vibrant community and are dedicated to preserving the region’s natural beauty. Our passion for the lakes and waterways drives us to connect our clients with the ideal boat for exploring the stunning scenery of Windermere and beyond. ​Under the leadership of Managing Director Darren and his team, we continuously strive to expand our services and enhance the experience we offer. Darren’s diverse expertise in technology, sales, and customer service, combined with his extensive boating knowledge, ensures that every client enjoys an exceptional, tailored experience when purchasing a boat. In 2024, Shepherds reached a significant milestone with the support of a multi-million-pound partnership. This collaboration is set to revolutionize not only boating on Windermere but also across the UK market and beyond. Our transformation is already well underway, with a full rebrand, the complete refurbishment of our offices at Windermere Marina Village, and the launch of our industry-leading website, just to name a few. With increased financial resources, Shepherds is now positioned to invest in a broader range of new and used stock boats. We are also strengthening our partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious boat brands, including Princess, Galeon, Sea Ray, and Regal, to offer an unparalleled selection to our clients. If you would like to explore our range of boats or discuss your specific needs, we invite you to contact us directly.
