About Looe Self Drive Boat Hire

Looe Self Drive Boat Hire sits at the RNLI slipway on the seafront in East Looe. The slipway puts you close to the water from the start. This is self drive boat hire, so you take the boat out yourself. That makes it a simple way to spend time on the river and around the harbour. You do not need to be an experienced boater. The team at the slipway will set you off.

On the water at East Looe

East Looe Beach is steps away from the slipway, and Plaidy Beach is a short distance along the coast. From the water you see the town from a different angle. The harbour and the river are both within reach. Because you are your own skipper, you choose where to go and how long to stay out. It suits couples, families and friends who want time on the water without a group tour. Dogs can come along too. Do check the hire details on the official website before you travel, as times and booking vary through the season.

Nearby food and drink

After your time on the water, the seafront has plenty close by. Sarah’s Coffee Shop is nearby for a hot drink, and The Old Salt and Sand Dune are both within easy reach if you want a meal. Sand Martin is nearby as well. East Looe Beach is right there if you fancy sitting by the sand afterwards.
