    Wedding receptions aboard Gondola

    Gondola is a rebuilt Victorian steam-powered yacht which has retained all the luxury and style of the Victorian age.

    The gentle gliding motion of this graceful 'lady' combines with the spectacular scenery of Coniston Water and the Coniston Fells to ensure that the occasion is both stunning and truly romantic.

    The yacht

    The interior of the boat is divided into 2 saloons reflecting Victorian trains from the Furness Railway - a 'first class' saloon with its luxuriously upholstered seating and ornate ceiling, and a 'third class' saloon with a rich mahogany ceiling.

    • Capacity: 86 passengers
    • Price: Evening charter fees from £395 - £650 (2008)
      £395 - £680 (2009)

    The central seating in the saloons can be turned into tables for catering - the seating is fixed 'bench' seating around the perimeter of the saloons. The boat interior has a luxurious ambience recreating the atmosphere of a bygone era.

    When can wedding receptions be held aboard Gondola?

    Gondola is available every evening from 1 April until the end of October. During busy periods, the number of bookings taken in any week may be restricted. Please note that Gondola does not sail after dark and all sailings are subject to favourable weather conditions.

    Gondola is not licensed for wedding ceremonies but she does call at Brantwood (not National Trust) on Coniston Water which is.
