About This Tour
Unique tailored skippered sailing trips or river trips for two persons sailing trips or for half day river trips up to 3 persons plus skipper. Visit small Cornish harbours, a good chance of seeing dolphins and seals up close, sail along the Cornish coast seeing caves and cliffs or visit hideaway places up the river Fal.

Shebeca is a small but very capable yacht and your skipper has sailed her round Britain, Ireland and into Biscay, often single handed. No experience required. You will be collected from your hotel if required and a traditional Cornish pastie lunch plus tea, coffee, water will be provided for full day tours. Half day river tours, bottled water only is provided but you are welcome to bring your own snacks. Prices are for the yacht and skipper, not per person.
