Grab a break from the humdrum of daily life and enjoy a healthy dose of fresh Cornish air and sea water with a a trip to Mylor Yacht Harbour.

At Mylor Harbour’s Harbourside Holidays you can stay in any of their beautiful apartments and cottages in this working harbour which is all about the sea. Whether you want to be on the water, in the water or just enjoy being close to the water their cottage breaks have every option either right on the doorstep or very close by.

This waterside village has everything in it to make your waterside stay complete – from eateries to watersports shopping, boat hire to great views and walks. The location also lends itself incredibly well to exploring Cornwall further with more amazing beaches, historic monuments, stately homes and other attractions all within a short drive or boat trip.

For boat-owners the incredible welcome at Mylor is no secret. With friendly and professional staff geared to providing everyone with an outstanding experience, you will find everything you need from fuel and maintenance to great places to explore and aprés-sail refreshments that will charm you.

You can enjoy the fantastic cruising waters of the Carrick Roads – these sheltered waters where the Fal Estuary meets Falmouth Bay. Nearby, you can enjoy the picturesque Helford River – a place that so captivated novelist Daphne Du Maurier that she set some of her most popular novels there.

BRING YOUR OWN

Of course, like any fun hospitality offering, there’s a bring-your-own option. Visitors bring a range of kayaks, sit-on-tops, paddleboards, windsurfers and foiling wingboards to name just a few as the Carrick Roads are such a great place to practice. Small watercraft can be launched from the sheltered and gently shelving sandy beach or concrete slipway without charge.

HIRE & LEARN

If you don’t have your own watercraft, you can hire one from Mylor Boat Hire where you can rent anything including kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, motorboats and launches – with no experience required. For those with a bit of sailing experience, Cornish Shrimpers and other yachts are available from Take a Turn Yachting so you can head off on your own adventure – or you could book a lesson from Mylor Sailing School and work on honing your skills on the water.
