Explore the stunning Cornish coastline on a 1 hour 15 min wildlife cruise from St Ives Harbour, including a visit to the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse. Enjoy breathtaking coastal views, historic harbours, and rugged beaches while encountering the region’s abundant wildlife.
Begin with check-in at St Ives Harbour, where the crew provides a safety briefing and life jackets. Once aboard, set sail along the coastline, passing Porthmeor Beach, Porthgwidden, Clodgy Point, and the historic St Nicholas Chapel, with Godrevey Lighthouse as a striking focal point in the distance.
Your main wildlife stop is Seal Island, home to a colony of playful Atlantic grey seals that often swim close to the boat—perfect for photos. Keep your eyes on the water as you cruise past Godrevey Lighthouse and beyond; common and bottlenose dolphins are frequently spotted, and in season, you may even see porpoises or basking sharks.
Return to St Ives Harbour after a scenic journey, enjoying the coastline from a fresh perspective and memories of unforgettable wildlife encounters. This cruise is suitable for all ages and offers an ideal mix of sightseeing, nature, and adventure.
