Meet the amazing folk who lived, worked and shaped the Fal Estuary with the ‘Cornish Bird’ history and folklore expert, Elizabeth Dale. 

Embark on an extraordinary voyage where every corner and every cove tells a story of Cornwall’s rich and diverse past. The Fal Estuary - a living museum of human endeavour spanning many centuries - awaits your discovery.

Navigate the enticing waters of the Fal Estuary where centuries of human activity have left their mark - from medieval ferry crossings and creekside churches to later forts, quays, shipyards and stately homes – and an incredible wealth of stories about those who lived beside and sailed upon these waters.

Join us for an exclusive peek into some of the lesser-known reaches of the Penryn River, Falmouth harbour, Percuil Creek and St Just Creek while your guide brings to life a plethora of tales of those who shaped these shores - from humble boatbuilders to ambitious landowners, from daring smugglers to adventurous seamen and corrupt politicians.

Experience the Fal Estuary not just as a beautiful waterway, but as a living connection to Cornwall’s maritime past, a heritage that continues to resonate through the landscape and in the stories passed down to us through generations.

Your voyage of discovery unfolds aboard the luxury vessel Moyana. Relax in the comfortable indoor seating area or the panoramic top deck for breathtaking views or sample Cornish tipples from our fully stocked bar.

Join us for a fascinating adventure and meet an exciting and sometimes unlikely cast of characters who will bring the past to life and change how you see the Fal Estuary forever.
