Mylor Boat Hire is a boat hire operator based in Falmouth, England, offering a range of self-drive and guided water experiences on the River Fal, Mylor Creek and nearby Helford River.
The fleet includes 19′ gaff-rigged Shrimpers suited to overnight escapes, an 18′ electric Eco-Launch for quiet, family-friendly cruising, Clovelly Motor Picarooners for scenic motor trips, an 18′ Plymouth Pilot for fishing or family outings (accommodating up to eight people), stand-up paddleboards, and both single and double kayaks available by the hour, half-day or full-day. Trips highlight local landmarks such as St. Antony’s Lighthouse, Pendennis Castle, Trelissick Gardens, Malpas village and the historic Pandora Inn.
Mylor Boat Hire provides equipment and guidance tailored to differing experience levels. No prior boating experience is required for many options: the Eco-Launch is electric and easy to handle, paddleboard and kayak hires include basic orientation, and the Pilot hire comes with instruction on controls, safety and local conditions. Rental options range from hourly sessions to full-day outings and overnight trips on selected boats.
Operating from Falmouth, Mylor Boat Hire focuses on delivering reliable, accessible ways to explore Cornwall’s waterways, combining practical safety information with routes that showcase the natural and historic highlights of the River Fal and surrounding creeks.
