Boat and Fishing Trips in St Ives

Within minutes of arriving on the harbour front in St Ives, you will be sure to be greeted by cries of “Seal Island Boat Trips” by the ticket sellers. This is one of the top must do things in St Ives so why not take a boat trip on our recommended operators. St Ives and the surrounding area is a beautiful part of the Cornish coastline. There are swathes of stunning beaches with golden sands, rugged cliffs and rocky out crops and marine life in abundance. It is a fun way to see the coastline and marine life. You can view our local seal colony, go to Godrevy Island, take a mackerel fishing trip, a wreck fishing trip and even enjoy a glass bottom boat sea safari. If you’re in luck you may see dolphins or even whales.
