Heritage Adventures has partnered up with local ferry company, Fal River Cornwall, for our Estuary Cruises, which take place on board one of their classic wooden ferry, Moyana, skippered and crewed by knowledge local staff.
Built in north Devon in 1954, Moyana was the first ‘modern’ vessels to join the company’s Enterprise Boats fleet, and immaculately maintained, this luxury boat has been cruising the estuary ever since.
At 60ft long, with ample space for up to 90 passengers, she has twin decks, including a superb top deck viewing area and a beautifully fitted out interior saloon. With a fully stocked bar serving a selection of Cornish tipples, and toilets on board, Moyana is perfect for evening estuary cruises.

Our Sea Quests around Mount’s Bay are provided in partnership with Kingfisher Coastal Charters, a family business operated out of Newlyn by Nigel and Fiona Taylor, who have lived and worked in Newlyn and the surrounding area all of their lives.
Kingfisher is a 25 foot ex-fishing boat, now certified as a passenger charter vessel. With up-to-date safety features and the latest navigation equipment aboard to ensure a safe and comfortable trip, she is licensed to carry up to 10 passengers, plus your Heritage Adventures guide and the boat’s skipper, Nigel.
Nigel has 35 years experience of commercial fishing, both locally and further afield, and, as well skippering Kingfisher, he continues to work as a day fisherman on his inshore punt ‘Our Roslyn’. His knowledge of the waters around Mount’s Bay, the wildlife and the history of the coast is extensive, and he loves nothing more than sharing his experiences and wisdom with others!
