For multi-day bookings, you can choose Early Check-in for £80 to gain early access to your boat. By selecting this option, your boat briefing will take place at 6 PM the evening before your hire, allowing you to get familiar with the boat and prepare ahead of time. This option is perfect for those who prefer to start their adventure a bit earlier.
We offer a 1-hour (£50), half-day (£100), or full-day (£160) session. This optional session covers boat rigging and handling with a staff member to help you feel more confident. While a full safety briefing is included with your hire, this session provides additional guidance for those who want a more detailed introduction. Please note, this is not a sailing lesson. Contact us to book your session.
We offer an optional pickup and/or drop-off service for the boat at locations accessible by water, such as St Mawes or the Helford. The customer is responsible for arranging a safe location for the boat, such as a mooring or pontoon. Contact us for a quote and to arrange the pickup/drop-off.
Add a Tender Hire for just £20. This option allows easy access to shore if you anchor or pick up a mooring. Subject to availability. Contact us to reserve your tender for the duration of your booking.
