Shrimpers

Experience the charm of traditional sailing with a modern twist aboard our beautifully crafted gaff-rigged boats. These elegant vessels, designed for both comfort and performance, offer a safe and enjoyable experience for up to five people. Even if you have never sailed a gaff rig before, our team will guide you through the ropes and ensure you feel confident on board. We recommend a maximum of four adults for the most comfortable sailing experience, and pets are always welcome, though they are asked to remain on deck rather than in the cabin. With a lifting centre plate and sturdy construction, these boats are ideal for navigating both open waters and the sheltered creeks of the River Fal and Helford River. Equipped with two cozy berths and camping-style facilities, they are perfect for overnight adventures, allowing you to bring your bedding and immerse yourself in the tranquility of life on the water.

Upon arrival at Mylor Boat Hire, we take the time to familiarize you with the boat rigging, safety equipment, and essential information about tides, weather, and local waters. Every day brings different conditions, so we provide guidance to help you choose the best route for your adventure. Whether you wish to explore quiet estuaries or sail further afield, our knowledgeable team will ensure you are fully prepared to enjoy your journey with confidence. For those seeking a larger vessel, yacht charters are available through Take a Turn Yachting at Mylor Yacht Harbour, offering another way to experience the beauty of the coastline. With our combination of traditional style, practical design, and expert guidance, every outing promises a memorable and fulfilling sailing experience.
