Mevagissey to Fowey Ferry An unmissable ferry boat service between two of Cornwall's most delightful ports.

Mevagissey to Fowey Ferry provides a seasonal service, please use website for continually updated sailing forecast and timetable. We operate a summer passenger ferry between Mevagissey and Fowey, two of Cornwall's most charming, but very different, ports. Fowey has a beautiful natural harbour with boutique shops, great walks, river trips, good food and a lot of yachts.

The 45 minute trip is fast and fun with beautiful coastline, wildlife and plenty of fresh sea air.

And thats it... 2026 done n dusted 🥹

What a day the passengers had... Minke whale and huge numbers of dolphins ... so if you took a punt at travelling with us on our last day, thank you 😊 and wasn't it a show stopper 🥹🙏🏻

This really is, your final call 😭

Today is our LAST SAILING of 2026 folks.

We cant guarantee dolphins, porpoises, whales or tuna... but we can tell you that the conditions will be the same, if not better than yesterday and you will not regret this unusually peaceful October sailing 🥰

Chris and Paul will be on the quay as usual for this mornings first 10am sailing from Mevagissey... and I'm sure, on fine form for their last crew duties 🥹

Video from yesterday 👇🏻 ... oh I dont want this to end now 😭

A once in a lifetime sighting, that is tinged with a bit of concern!

Our 1250 departure from Fowey, were incredibly lucky to see this whale! At first, we didnt have a CLUE what we were seeing, but with some help of Marine Strandings Network Mick Dawton and Sonia, its been identified as possibly, a Sowerby's Beaked Whale!

It is rare to see these whales, as they are reclusive and live in deep waters, hence the concern at one being so extremely close to shore.

We reported the sighting to BDMLR South West England and agreed that this should be shared with a reminder of the safe and lawful watching practice:
Try and maintain 100m distance ✔️
Do not chace, cut off, or circle the animals ✔️
Idle or neutral ✔️

Hopefully we will not see this one again and it can safely go on its it way, but should you have any concern, Marine Strandings have a hotline ☎️ 03452012626 for dead strandings, and BDMLR rescue hotline ☎️ 01825765546

I've spared you the excitement, confusion and arguing that went on between us crew 😆 so the video is muted.

Its Sunday Funday!! Cannot emphasise how INCREDIBLE these conditions are for October!!! ... or ... how much I wanna stop...

Its Sunday Funday!!

Cannot emphasise how INCREDIBLE these conditions are for October!!! ... or ... how much I wanna stop obsessing about wind forecasts at gone midnight every day 🥴

But here we are, 2 to 3 days left (depending on demand) ... and this is going to be perfection in its finest form boating wise 👇🏻

02/10/2026

We are running tomorrow!! 🥳

This really IS your final call folks...

The next few days from Saturday are giving pretty astounding winds for an October, so we have decided to extend our running season by just a few days, to try and give our lovely locals some weekend sailing and taking us in to next week as a tentative test to see how many people we still have wanting to use the service 🤗

October sailings are so unbelievably RARE, so this could be a once in a decade occurrence for us!

Please make sure you bring those extra layers 🧥 ... and keep an eye on our sailing forecast on our website for updates 🤗

Just going back through a few of the several *cough*🫣 videos I have of this seasons sailings... and found this little belter.

See... Its not JUST ME, that makes funny noises when I see dolphins and tuna!! 🤣

Anyway... looks like we have Saturday, Sunday and Monday SAILING!! and that is more than likely going to be our last 3 days. The conditions are going to be really lovely if as forecasted, so fingers crossed it stays that way!!

Have a fab evening folks 🤩

29/09/2026

Big spring tides and a big happy birthday to landlady, Lindsay 🥳

The winds dont seem to have been quite so strong as forecasted after visiting the harbour this evening... so lets hope that equates to a quicker exit and drop in the South Westerlies over the next few days 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

28/09/2026

Its been wonderful seeing the Turn to Starboard 's Spirit of Falmouth in the bay this year, along with Bessie Ellen and Anny of Charlestown.

You'd be forgiven for momentarily transporting yourself back a hundred or so years, and imagining the coast full of these stunning vessels... and of course to our young passengers... they DEFINITELY still have pirates in Cornwall!! 😅

We are running today then have a few days of stormy conditions, knocking us out till the 2nd of October (cannot believe its October already) 😳 So lets hope the conditions stay favourable for our last hurrah of 2026 🤞🏻🤗

As always, bring those extra layers if you are sailing with us... and keep a close check on the website 👌🏻

🌊🌊🌊 See you on the water 🌊 🌊 🌊

Well Red Rocket Cafe Fowey... unfortunately I didnt get to the cake before one of the crew did, to photograph it, but what a really beautiful surprise to have brought home tonight 🥰

Thank you so much!

Oh my GOSH! Cannot cope with these weather forecasts!! 🤯

❗️WE MIGHT GET A COUPLE OF DAYS SAILING IN OCTOBER AFTER ALL❗️

Looking in to next week, after the unsettled windy blip, the 2nd and 3rd are currently looking favourable... so for those asking for the first couple of days in Oct... cross those fingers and legs and whatever else you can 🤣

To put this in to perspective, as I'm sure you're thinking "what's the big deal"? ... being able to actually sail on the last days of our season is as rare as Mike the skipper, finishing the season with a full set of teeth in!! 😁🤣 It has not happened for years!!

(Oh I'm gonna be in trouble for that one) 🙈

Anyway, stuck record time - keep a close eye on our sailing forecast on the website 🤞🏻🤞🏻
