About Fowey Boat Hire

Fowey Boat Hire offers self drive motorboat hire on the River Fowey from the Town Quay. As an attraction in Fowey, Cornwall, it gives visitors a way to get out on the water and see the town from a different angle. The boats seat up to seven people, so a family or a group of friends can head out together. Fuel, tuition and safety gear are included, which keeps things straightforward if you are new to driving a motorboat.

On the Water

You will find the hire point at the Town Quay, right in the middle of Fowey. The river is busy with small craft and ferries, and the harbour has a character all of its own. Because tuition is provided, even complete beginners can take the helm after a short briefing. Then you are free to explore the water at your own pace, with the engine already fuelled and the safety equipment on board.

A Day in Fowey

A session on the river can easily fit into a wider day around the town. Nearby, you can stop for refreshments at Food for Thought, The King of Prussia Inn, The Haven, or Havener’s Bar and Grill. If you prefer to stay by the sea, Whitehouse Beach and Readymoney Cove Beach are both close at hand. So you could hire a boat in the morning, then spend the afternoon on the sand or wandering the streets. Just remember to book ahead if you want a specific time, as this is a popular activity in the warmer months.
