Sailing

For all things boating, the harbour is THE place to be! Many sailing boats head out to sea each day (weather and tide permitting) mostly between May and September giving you a fascinating perspective of Newquay and its surroundings.

Witness towering cliffs, golden sands, tranquil inlets and secret coves on a memorable day or half-day boat trip. You'll even have a chance to catch a mackerel or two for your tea whilst you're there! For the adrenalin seekers among you, there are also speedboat trips available. So if you fancy zipping across Newquay Bay at speeds of up to 40 knots this is the one for you!

For something a little more sedate how about heading to Trenance Boating Lake? Situated within Trenance Park, a beautiful 26 acre recreational area with gardens, children's play area, crazy golf, not to mention Newquay Zoo and Waterworld, the boating lake enables families to hire pedaloe’s and rowing boats.

The north Cornish coast also offers superb sailing opportunities. Newquay Sailing Club holds regular handicap racing in the bay, times varying according to tides. Dinghy-owners may bring their boats, become associate members, compete in the racing and use the Clubhouse.
