About

There’s something magical about being on the water with Fal River boat trips. Breathe in the fresh salt air, and watch Cornwall’s stunning coastline unfold before you. Slip away from crowded roads and discover charming harbour towns, maritime heritage and landscapes that have inspired generations.

Perfect for an unforgettable adventure, our boat trips connect you to exceptional experiences on the water.

St Mawes Ferry Service
The moment you step off the ferry, you’ll understand why locals treasure this place. St Mawes welcomes visitors with its boutique shops, delightful dining options, art galleries, coastal walks, and sandy beaches. Running 364 days a year, we’re here whenever you need to reconnect with what matters most, whether that’s a lazy summer afternoon escape or a fresh winter morning adventure.

Enterprise Boats River Cruises
Cruise the magnificent River Fal through Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stops at the Prince of Wales Pier, Falmouth, the National Trust’s Trelissick Garden and Estate, and the peaceful riverside settlement of Malpas. Journey through spectacular countryside, passing ancient Tudor fortifications, densely wooded river valleys, heritage properties, and diverse wildlife habitats. Our knowledgeable crew provides engaging commentary throughout your voyage. Our boats have cosy sheltered areas where you can stay dry while still enjoying the views during Cornwall’s occasional rain showers.
