About St Ives Boat Rides
St Ives Boat Rides operates from St Ives, England, offering a range of guided and self-drive water experiences on the local coastline. The company provides Yellow & Red self-drive boat rides that are easy to handle, include life jackets and expert guidance, and allow dogs on board.
Stand Up PaddleBoards (SUP) are available for single, double, and quadruple riders and include options to paddle to Porthminster Beach for a picnic. For powered water experiences, St Ives Boat Rides runs SEADOO jet ski trips in three durations: a 30‑minute solo trip (for single riders, led by a PWC qualified instructor), a 50‑minute guided solo trip with safety briefings and included gear, and a 90‑minute guided tour that explores coves and caves and encourages wildlife spotting.
Safety and training are emphasised across all activities; life jackets and safety briefings are provided, and qualified instructors lead or support powered sessions. Boat hire options suit families, groups and solo adventurers looking to fish, explore hidden bays or simply enjoy coastal scenery. Stand up paddleboarding caters to all skill levels and includes board size options.
St Ives Boat Rides is listed on The Adventure Collective, reinforcing its visibility among coastal activity providers in Cornwall. By focusing on straightforward equipment, clear safety procedures and local knowledge, the company delivers accessible water experiences for a wide range of visitors.
Booking information, availability and safety details are provided on booking; customers receive briefing, equipment fitting and local route suggestions before departure for families, experienced riders and first-timers alike.
