Experience Cornwall Differently

Aboard Ellihaye

Ellihaye is a 47ft motor cruiser offering a truly special way to explore Cornwall’s coastline and rivers. With space for just 12 guests, every trip is designed to feel personal, relaxed, and a little bit different from the norm.

We run private boat trips all year round, and whether you're planning a quiet morning on the water with tea and homemade cake, or a lively evening cruise with friends, local gins, and amazing views, we’ll make it one to remember.

You can book Pendennis Boat Charters for all kinds of occasions: birthdays, intimate celebrations, corporate get-togethers, or even a peaceful farewell gathering.

Our crew are experienced, friendly, and focused on making your time with us just right.

What makes it even better?

The choice is yours!


You can hire the boat on it’s own, join us on a cruise and even bring your own food and drink!

Choose from our menu – anything from a proper BBQ with steak (and veggie options), to mezze boards, tapas, or even a fish night.

We are fully licensed, so you can pair it with local drinks, or keep things simple with great food, good company, and incredible views.

Fancy stopping off at a bar by boat?

We can do that too.

 

or stay on board and enjoy an evening dining experience under the stars.

With a fully heated cabin and indoor seating, Pendennis is perfect in any weather. This isn’t just a boat trip – it’s a real experience.

    What a fantastic trip, loved every minute all three and half hours of it. Nina and Mark along with Ruby and Harry were great hosts. We was greeted with a glass of Prosecco and a cake. We then made our way out of the harbour to carrick roads past the King Harry ferry, then stopping for afternoon tea ( one of the best I’ve ever had ) before making our way back to Falmouth.would definitely recommend this trip and will definitely go again.
