Cornish is quite rightly an area of outstanding natural beauty. We begin by departing from the fishing port of Padstow, and cover approximately 25 miles of stunning coastline, giving you the best scenery available to Cornwall! We give you unique views of the dramatic cliffs and takes you to places that you could not possibly see from the shore.​

Experience a whole new world on the water, a different perspective. It’s dramatic landscape sculpted by the tempestuous seas of the atlantic. It’s no wonder our trips are so popular with budding photographers.

2. Sea life​

​You can experience the UK and Cornwall’s amazing sealife and wildlife from the sea. Depending on the time of year you choose to take a trip, you can expect to see an amazing variety of animals, such as seals, porpoises, dolphins and basking sharks. Regardless of  weather or time of year there will always be some wildlife out there, whether it be sea, sky or land!

In spring and summer the cliff formations are brimming with all sorts of wildlife, including Razorbills, Guillemots, Cormorants and Oystercatcher. You might even get lucky and spot a Puffin on our own “Puffin Island”.
