Available from April to October, departing daily from our private cove, you can explore the Helford River aboard our 19 foot open boat, the Hannah Molly.

The scenic 90 minute cruise you can spot egrets, herons, cormorants and occasionally the elusive Kingfisher, seal or dolphin. You will pass by Helford Passage, the Ferryboat Inn and Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens before heading up river to explore Helford Village, the Shipwrights Arms, Frenchman's Creek, Polwheveral Creek and Port Navas village.

Pizza evenings by the Helford at Budock Vean

Pizza evenings by the Helford at Budock Vean

High tides and warm summer nights are a match made in heaven for us here on the Helford. 

During the summer we combine the two to cook up a series of special early evening gatherings down at our foreshore. You can explore the river on a boat trip, a SUP or kayak adventure then sit back with a drink and pizza as you watch the tide slowly drop. We have the fire lit and the beers chilled.

Thank you to everyone who made it to one of our Pizza evenings by the Helford. Keep your eyes peeled for 2025 dates!
