Boats in Cornwall

Cornwall is a popular holiday destination in England bordering Devon. It has a coastline that stretches 422 miles long, filled with spectacular sweeping beaches, cliffs, and coves. It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and is the perfect playground to enjoy a variety of water sports activities or sailing. Before you begin your private boat trip in Cornwall, you may visit several attractions. The Minack Theatre is a world-famous gem that offers a unique stroll around sub-tropical gardens and offers breathtaking views of the sea. Just off the Penzance coast, you will find the magical castle of St. Michael's Mount which dates back to Norman times. Similarly, the Tintagel Castle is an attraction that sits high on a clifftop in the small town of Tintagel. Visiting these castles will offer an escape into a fairy-tale land, which tells tales of myths and legends that date back to the Dark Ages. 

 

Fishing, agriculture, and mining were all important industries in Cornwall. At the forefront of the industrial revolution, tin and copper mines generated significant revenues and employment in Cornwall. Today, tourism is the mainstay of the Cornish economy. Visitors from all over the world arrive to enjoy the miles of sandy beaches, coastal walks, and the best climate in Britain. Once you have enjoyed the glorious coastal town of Cornwall, it is time for you to head to the port and enjoy a boat trip along the rugged coastline.

On a private boat trip in Cornwall, you can explore the stunning seaside town of St. Ives. Porthminster Beach is one of the best in Cornwall, frequently awarded the blue flag status. You will find a crescent of golden sand and perfect waters for swimming and snorkelling. Moreover, impressive Victorian villas, lush fields, and award-winning restaurants line up the shoreside. Home to the Atlantic Grey Seals, Seal Island hugs the coastline around Clodgy Point. You may also journey to Godrevy Lighthouse across St. Ives Bay. This route takes you past Porthminster Beach, where you will find yet another colony of Atlantic Grey Seals. Towering close above you from the water, the lighthouse views are simply impressive. Lastly, cruising past Porthminster Beach you can head towards Porthkidney Sands and Hayle Estuary. Hiring a boat with a skipper is highly recommended in St. Ives, allowing you to take in all the fascinating facts about the area and the local wildlife and sea. From St. Ives, you may also explore Newquay, considered the surf capital of the UK. Whether you’re a surfer or a sunbather, plenty of beaches dot the coast. The Bedruthan Steps between Padstow and Newquay, Trevose Head in Constantine Bay, and Polzeath near Wadebridge, are all great spots to catch some waves. 

 

A boat trip in Cornwall may also be spent exploring the coast along Penzance, Falmouth, and Plymouth. Pedn Vounder is one of Cornwall's best beaches on the Penwith Peninsula. You may also access Nanjiza Cove known for its boulder-strewn cove with crystal clear waters. Departing from the Penzance harbour, you will find St.Michaels Mount and the creative centre of arts known as the Marazion. If you wish to explore gorgeous Cornish coves, then you may book a catamaran or sailboat and explore Lizard Point, the UK’s most southerly tip. Here you will enjoy panoramic views of pretty woodlands and historical monuments. Not far, you will find St. Loy and Housel Bay, small sandy coves with beautiful waters. As your final destination, you may head to Falmouth or Plymouth. One of the best-kept secrets you may make a stop at is Lantic Bay between Fowey and Polperro. The waters are backed by high cliffs, making you feel like you have left Cornwall for the Mediterranean! Finally, guests must be aware of the weather conditions when sailing Cornwall. If the weather is too hard or the conditions are rough, your trips may be cancelled. This is why we advise you to plan a sailboat rental with your family and friends; with a professional skipper who knows the area well.
