Marine Discovery Penzance offers something genuinely different. Instead of noisy engines and crowded boats, you’ll travel under sail – giving you a quieter, more natural way to experience life at sea.
Operating from Penzance Harbour, these award-winning wildlife watching trips have been running since 2005, combining expert local knowledge with a passion for conservation. The crew use each journey to collect scientific data, meaning your trip contributes to real marine research.
From the calm waters of Mount’s Bay to the open ocean beyond, each trip is shaped by conditions and wildlife sightings. You might glide alongside curious dolphins, watch seabirds diving for fish, or catch a glimpse of seals resting along the coastline.
With small group sizes, expert guides and a strong focus on conservation, Marine Discovery delivers one of the most authentic and rewarding boat trips in Cornwall.
