St Ives Boat Rides

If you've ever fancied steering your own boat or zipping along the Cornish coastline on a jet ski, St Ives Boat Rides is your go-to for a seriously fun aquatic adventure. 

Operating from the The Sloop slipway, they hire out motor boats and jet skis from April through to October, weather permitting!

Motor Boats

Perfect for families or groups, their small motor boats are simple to operate, yet highly enjoyable.

Each one seats up to 6 people (max 4 adults), comes with a steering wheel, and is powered by a 6hp outboard motor

Every passenger (including pups!) gets a life jacket, and helpful staff will show you how to guide your vessel safely.

These boats are not just for sightseeing, you can even use them for a spot of fishing!

Jet Ski Adventure Tours

For the adrenaline seekers, the jet ski tours are the highlight of their offerings. Picture yourself riding shiny SEADOO jet skis around the bay. All led by an RYA-qualified instructor.

No experience? No problem! Both the boats and jet skis come with full instructions from friendly, qualified staff.

Other Watersports Hire

St Ives Boat Rides in the harbour also hire out kayaks, and operate a high speed rib ride around the bay!
