Evening Sailing Trips

If you would like to explore our fabulous Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from the comfort of a yacht, then our skippered charter is for you.

Either sit back and enjoy the views whilst our qualified and experienced skippers sail you up the Fal Estuary, or take control; our skippers will show you the ropes and make learning to sail a smooth and easy process.

2.5 Hours – £500

Enjoy the perfect end to the day as the sea calms and other boats make their way home. We embark on our journey towards Falmouth, where we can appreciate the serene beauty of the surroundings. We then cross the Far Estuary to St. Mawes, you’ll have the opportunity to soak in the picturesque scenery and the gentle lull of the waves.

Once a busy fishing port village, St Mawes is situated at the end of the Roseland Peninsula. Nearing the village you pass the 16th century St Mawes Castle, along with its neighbouring Pendennis Castle (on the opposite side) designed by Henry VIII to guard the Fal Estuary. The village is one of the classic charming Cornish harbor villages and we think best experienced from the waterside!

Sunset Cruises Across the Fal to the Beautiful Village of St. Mawes.

As the sun starts to dip towards the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the water, we’ll make our way back to Mylor harbour. This relatively short trip offers a serene escape, allowing you to soak in the beauty of the surroundings.

Despite its relatively short duration, there’s ample opportunity to actively get involved in the sailing experience, making it a memorable and engaging way to conclude your day.

I organised this as a birthday present for my husband, and it was an absolute hit with everyone! Harry was friendly and knowledgeable making the day extra enjoyable. He was particularly patient and engaging with our children, aged 7 and 11, who loved help steering the boat.

What a fantastic day we had on the water! Phil was not only a skilled captain but also a delightful host, enriching our experience with his extensive knowledge of the area. We had a delicious picnic lunch archored off Maenporth beach, which was real highlight we won't soon forget—excellent!
