Visiting from afar? Helpful information for planning your trip.

Booking
​
Upon booking, if you choose to pay through direct bank transfer your bank may require our 'SWIFT' or 'IBAN' code to make the payment, this will be detailed on your booking form. We will then require your  'SWIFT' or 'IBAN' code to return your security deposit to you. For international bank transfers the bank deducts approximately £15 in fees, therefore when we receive your payment it will be less  £15 (approx, subject to exchange rates). Therefore when we return your £150 deposit it will be less  £15 (approx, subject to exchange rates). We feel this is a fair way to share the fees rather than you taking full liability. If you have any questions regarding this please feel free to contact us.

Travelling by car?

For satellite navigation  please use  LA6 1JH and use Tewitfield and Kellet Lane. 

You will most likely travel via the M6 motorway, exit the M6 at Junction 35,  follow the signs from the motorway for 'Carnforth & Morecambe'. At the first roundabout take the exit (A6) to 'Milnthorpe'. At the next roundabout take the second exit (A6070) to 'Burton in Kendal'. Take the first right after approx ¼ mile and then the immediate right to follow the road past the Longlands Hotel and car park. The entrance to Tewitfield Marina is on your left immediately after the hotel car park. Duckling’s customers should then follow the road to the left all the way round to the end. On your right you will see a car park on the edge of the marina (see map below) Please park here and call us on 07951298720  and we will bring your parking passes and help you take your luggage to our boat.
