We’ll begin our journey weaving through the sandbanks of Hayle Estuary. As we navigate these waters, we’ll share the rich history of this area, recognised as one of the most significant ports in the southwest during the Industrial Revolution.
Turning northeast, we’ll pass a stunning three-mile stretch of golden sand, with clear waters.
Our first stop is the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse, a true gem of Cornwall. While we discuss its heritage, keep an eye out for the Maidens, a haul-out spot for the protected seal colony residing at Mutton Cove.
Next, we’ll round Navex Point, unveiling a stretch of coastline dotted with picturesque caves and coves, including Giver Cove, Hell’s Mouth, Basset’s Cove, and our favourite, Ralph’s Cardboard.
The slate cliffs in this area have been shaped into incredible forms by the relentless sea and wind, making it one of the most scenic locations locally. The cliffs are adorned with a stunning variety of native flowers. However, this coastline is not only about stunning scenery; it is steeped in smuggling history, filled with captivating tales that are integral to our local history.
Continuing along the coast, we’ll pass stunning bays such as Sally’s Bottom, Porth Towan, and Chapel Porth, before heading to St. Agnes Head. Here, shaped by its mining history, you’ll see the Wheal Coates Engine House. Perched on the edge of the cliff, viewing it from the boat offers a unique vantage point and respect for 19th-century engineering.
As we head out to sea, we’ll pass the dramatic Bowden Rocks, located about a mile offshore. Finally, we’ll reach an underwater feature approximately four miles out. This topography provides excellent conditions to spot dolphins and porpoises as we make our way back on our 12-mile trip to Hayle.
Due to the dynamic nature of our waters, we must remain adaptable to changing conditions. The captain may adjust the route as necessary to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on board.
