Mylor Yacht Harbour

Mylor Yacht Harbour has a modern and spacious marina which is protected from the prevailing South Westerly winds and offers a sheltered haven for yachts persons and those wishing to enjoy spending time on the water - with everything a boat owner could need in one place.

Originally the most westerly Naval Dockyard and victualling station in England, then home of HMS Ganges and the Packet ships and centre for the French Resistance during the Second World War, Mylor, now home to the last fleet of Oyster fishing boats under sail, is a haven for water-lovers of all types, whether you enjoy crabbing with the children off the pontoon, cruising local waters or racing further offshore.

Boasting some of the finest sheltered waters in the UK, the Carrick Roads offers a great base for sailing , boat charter and other water sports such as kayaking, paddle boarding, windsurfing and much more. There are many yacht racing events, both local and national, that take place throughout the season in the area.

The entire area is protected as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, from the mouth which has St Anthony Lighthouse (aka Fraggle Rock) to one side and Pendennis Castle to the other, deep into the tree lined creeks to Truro. It is home to many wading birds, seals and otters, not to mention all the basking sharks and dolphins that come into the Roads to feed.

Mylor Yacht Harbour is a centre of excellence for the care and restoration of yachts and motor boats, providing a full complement of services afloat and ashore. We offer a range of services, backed up by comprehensive shore-side facilities for the boat owner, from one of the most beautiful locations on the South Coast. Our experienced and friendly staff are always willing to help, and pride themselves in making you feel welcome and looked after whilst maintaining our high quality standards

We have everything you could possibly need to enjoy your time on and off the water.

Sailing Trips

If you would like to explore our fabulous Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from the comfort of a yacht, then our skippered charter is for you.

Sailing with up to six people

You can sit back and enjoy the views whilst our qualified and experienced skippers sail you through the Carrick Roads, or take control; our skippers will show you the ropes and make learning to sail a smooth and easy process.

For full day charters either bring a picnic to enjoy in a secluded bay, take a water-taxi ashore in the Helford or beautiful St Mawes. 

Paddle boarding: Keep the calm & tranquil mood going and go for a paddle board off the boat. We can provide lessons or a tour if you would like to give it a go but have never been before. They are also an excellent way to get access to the beaches from the boat & great diving boards on a sunny day too.

Speed boat ride: For the more adventurous we can partner a yacht with a speed boat for a day or half day. Carmen Rose, a Galla 700 sun. Comfortable cruises at 25KTS. This makes a great day out with the calm of sailing & the excitement of power boating, we will raft the boats at lunch so everyone can be together.

Half Day 3.5 hrs – £500

Our half day trips are either 10:00-13:30 or 14:30-18:00. We leave Mylor and then see where the wind takes us, we can head to Helford for a coffee and a quick swim or tuck round St Anthony’s lighthouse and go looking for dolphins. On board there will be tea, coffee and cakes in the morning or prosecco and scones in the afternoon. Our skipper can look after the sailing, leaving you free to relax, or you can take the wheel and our skipper will guide you.

Full Day 7 hrs – £800

A full day gives you time to do it all, start the day with pastries and coffee as we head out. We are guided by the weather on the day, some popular routes include a trip to Tulvern for a paddleboard lesson heading towards Malpas, lunch in the river and then an afternoon sailing towards the Manacles. A morning sailing past Swanpool and Meanporth aiming to go ashore for lunch in Helford is always popular, in the afternoon we can potter back across to St Mawes for a swim before returning to Mylor with a glass of bubbles.

Evenings 2.5hrs – £400

The perfect end to a day, enjoy the quieter water as the other boats head home. We head out towards Falmouth, cross the estuary to St Mawes and aim to be heading home to Mylor as the sun is setting, wonderful. A relatively short trip but there is still time to get involved with the sailing.

Extended rentals are available on all boats, get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Beach Overview

Home to our collaboration with Windsport / Coastland Project to create the first Wing Foiling School in Cornwall.

We teach Winging from this ideal spot with demo kit from Fanatic, Duotone, F-One, Slingshot & Ride Engine available to try out as well.

The beach at Mylor offers the perfect spot to get out and enjoy the amazing estuary of Falmouth Harbour. It is often called the Carrick Roads and it is no surprise this beach is also home to Restronguet Sailing Club and also the World renowned sailing centre Windsport International. It is a private beach so please do not ruin it for everyone by parking on it – There is plenty of parking in the Harbour or more conveniently at Windsport.

Anyone will see from arial photos of the waters around this centrally located launch spot it has amazing potential particularly for foiling. With a kite foils ability to cover ground both upwind and downwind it opens up possibly one of the best foil cruising area in the south west of the UK.

It is a sheltered spot (wave wise) offering anyone the chance to get to terms with their equipment in a less exposed location and at most you will encounter flat water or wind blown chop. Being an estuary the wind may well be a little more gusty than exposed beaches but it is a beach that covers so many wind directions it is one that I feel has lots to offer.

The welcoming Windsport International Centre offers plenty of parking a short distance from the launch spot. Behind the beach there is a large grassy field which can even be used as the perfect rigging spot. You can easily walk down the concrete slipway to get onto the water. Many of the staff who work here kite and wing so feel free to pick their brains as to the state of the tide or weather – they are very experienced and are always helpful. As one of the UK’s top sailing schools it offers a range of instructional and hire opportunities from an exciting range of sailing dinghies and catamarans. For more info on Wing Lessons Click Here

NEW for 2021 – Coastland has Opened . New camping pitches – changing rooms and facilities – Why not Stay and play at this amazing location.

With the addition of the fantastic Cafe Mylor just a short stroll away in the harbour with a well stocked chandlery, as well as Big Blue Watersports , the harbour offers partners and family the opportunity to enjoy an enjoyable respite without getting wind / sand blown. There are also many delightful coastal and sheltered scenic walks from here to keep the more active engaged.

The best wind directions are probably NW and SE although there is sometimes a reduced wind shadow on the first 50 – 100m in a NW..

BEACH KEY INFORMATION

Best wind direction, workable wind directions.

From Westerly through North Easterly to South South Westerly

TIDAL RESTRICTIONS

At very low tide the beach is very shallow for a reasonable distance so if you are foiling make sure you wade out deep enough!

HAZARDS & RESTRICTIONS

Take care on the beach as it is a shingle / stony beach some low rocks . On the water there are few hazards apart from the numerous moorings to the North east of the beach - Stay well clear from them and be aware there is a lot of boat traffic entering and leaving the moorings and nearby Mylor Yacht Harbour Marina
