A seasonal boat-hire base at Rivermouth on Ullswater, offering rowing boats and motor boats a short walk from Pooley Bridge.

Lakeland Boat Hire operates from Rivermouth at Eusemere on the Ullswater shoreline near Pooley Bridge. Visitors can hire rowing boats, standard motor boats and larger luxury motor boats for independent time on the lake. The current official guidance states that boats are hired in person on a first-come, first-served basis rather than through advance telephone, email or online reservations. Operation is weather dependent and can be suspended in high winds, poor visibility or unsafe conditions. Buoyancy aids and the operator's safety instructions must be followed at all times.
