See Padstow, a bustling harbour town known for its maritime heritage and vibrant atmosphere with the colorful fishing boats never failing to highlight the tranquility of the calm harbour water. Enjoy the historic buildings that line the waterfront with restaurants ready to serve you fish, fresh off of the boats that day. Setting off from Padstow gives you the opportunity to view Padstow’s bustling energy from a new unique perspective, that many a fisherman has enjoyed for centuries. 

As we navigate the waters of the Camel Estuary, prepare to be memorised by the stunning natural landscapes that unfold before your eyes. On one side, the lush greenery of the estuary’s banks contrast beautifully with the shimmering waters. On the other side, the expansive coastline showcases sandy beaches, towering cliffs, and hidden coves. 

Approaching Rock, you’ll be enchanted by its serene charm and unspoiled beauty. Gaze upon the golden sands and gentle waves that grace the village’s shore line. The quaint village unfolds before you, nestled against a backdrop of rolling hills, making for a truly idyllic coastal scene. 

A taxi like no other, is easily one way to describe our Water Taxi. The beauty and charms of our coastline can be enjoyed in all kinds of ways, including our simple water taxi that operates every night throughout summer and Christmas.
