A New View of St Ives - Discover it by Boat
If you are visiting Cornwall this summer, one of the best ways to enjoy St Ives is by boat. While the beaches and streets of the town are lovely to explore, a boat trip gives you a whole new view that is peaceful, exciting, and full of beauty.
As boats leave the busy harbour, passengers can enjoy wide views of the town and the bright blue sea. From the water, St Ives looks even more like a picture postcard.
Wildlife and Calm Waters
Boat trips often bring you close to nature. Seals can be seen resting on the rocks, and sometimes dolphins swim nearby. If you are lucky, you might also spot a puffin or sunfish. The sea around St Ives is clear and full of life, perfect for anyone who enjoys wildlife.
Trips for Everyone
There are many types of boat trips available. You can choose a slow cruise, a glass-bottom boat, or even a fast ride in a small RIB boat. Many trips include stories from local guides about fishing, secret coves, and the area’s history.
Unforgettable Sunsets
Evening trips are becoming more popular. As the sun sets over the sea, the sky turns golden and the views are truly special. It is a quiet and magical time to be out on the water.
