Cruising Area - SHRIMPERS & JEANNEAU SUN 2500

Slide 1

Falmouth

Our motor boats can take you around to Falmouth in around forty minutes or so, where you will usually be able to see plenty of impressive ships and boats, stop off on a visitor pontoon (for a small fee) to explore the historic town, or grab something to eat in one of the many pubs and restaurants it offers

Slide 2

Pandora Inn

If good food and drink is what you’re after, the pretty Pandora Inn is just around the corner from us in the entrance to Restronguet Creek, approximately fifteen minutes away. Please contact us if you would like to visit it and we can advise on a suitable day/time. Please heed our advise or you will spend several hours stuck in the mud, longingly watching others enjoying their pints whilst you are utterly unable to have your own

Slide 2

St Mawes

The pretty fishing village of St Mawes is less than an hour away, and again it offers visitor pontoons to allow you to moor your boat and stop off to explore or enjoy some fish and chips. There is a small charge for using their pontoon, and they are only accessible at certain tide heights on which we can advise on your arrival or earlier call.

Slide 3

Trellissick House

An impressive National Trust property with stunning gardens and grounds, is located overlooking the mouth of the river Fal around a forty minute journey away. It has a visitor pontoon allowing you to arrive by water to enjoy a look around the grounds or a visit to the tea room (bring your National Trust cards for a walk through the gardens).

Slide 2

Malpas

Malpas is about an hour and a quarter up river, it is a pretty village situated at the junction of the Truro and Tresillian rivers. The Heron Inn was built in 1830 and is a great place to stop of coffee or lunch. There is a visitors pontoon which has small charge, it is accessible all states of tide.

Slide 2

Wildlife & History

There is a huge amount to see, from the two Henry VIII castles on Pendennis Point and St Mawes, which once protected the Carrick Roads from the Spanish Armada, to the plentiful wildlife. Herons, little egrets, buzzards and cormorants abound, with the chance of spotting a kingfisher and strangely for a brief period in 2017, a somewhat out of place pelican. You may well see the head of a curious seal popping out of the water, or a group of them soaking up the sun on Black Rock at a low tide. If you’re very lucky, you may be joined by a pod of dolphins or porpoises.

Helford

Helford river

Under sail it will take around two and a half hours depending on weather conditions to get to the Helford.
-Good anchoring spots
-25 visitors’ moorings, £16 per night up.

Fun fact: Frenchman’s Creek is both the title and setting of the enchanting Daphne du Maurier novel.
