Cornwall - St Ives Boats

Explore the Cornish coast by boat

St Ives Boats offer daily boat trips leaving from St Ives harbour, where you can watch the seals along the coast at Seal Island or take in magnificent views of the famous Godrevy lighthouse.

You can take a sea safaris on the famous “Dolly P boats” to catch a glimpse of the grey seals at Seal Island or take a trip across the bay for magnificent views (and photo opportunities) of the famous Godrevy lighthouse.

For the history buffs, there's the James Stevens no 10: the restored St Ives Lifeboat from 1899, which offers historical tours around the bay and beyond.

St Ives Bay is one of only two places in the UK to meet the stringent requirements to be designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has a diversity of interesting wildlife including dolphins, seals, sharks and whales. Plus, St Ives Boats are the only accredited wildlife safe operator (WISe Scheme) in St Ives Bay.

These boat trips are family friendly and also allow dogs, providing they behave themselves around the wildlife.
