Experience the freedom of the South Cornwall coast with a private boat charter tailored to you. Choose from a half-day or full-day adventure, where you decide the route, stops, and activities. Whether it’s swimming in secluded bays, wildlife spotting, or visiting local harbours, you can make the day completely your own.
Start your day with a safety briefing and lifejacket fitting, where your skipper will discuss your preferences and outline the itinerary. You can choose from a variety of experiences, including a Design Your Own Private Adventure, where you explore hidden coves and beaches, swim in calm, turquoise waters, snorkel among fascinating sealife, and enjoy secluded spots perfect for relaxing with family or friends.
Private and family charters offer flexibility for personalised days on the water. Boats are carefully maintained, powerful, and reliable, with plenty of storage, while your skipper is confident, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. This ensures every trip is smooth, safe, and enjoyable, whether cruising the South Cornwall coast or stopping at anchorages for swimming and exploration.
For film, television, or educational projects, the boats provide a stable, on-sea base for capturing Cornwall’s dramatic coastline. Your skipper will assist with positioning, logistics, and safety, helping you achieve the best results while keeping everyone secure.
Charters are also ideal for birthdays, stag or hen parties, with exciting, memorable activities for groups.

Similarly, the service can support sailing events and regattas, with vessels certified by the Maritime Coastguard Agency for up to 10 people and tailored to meet event needs.
