We’ve teamed up with One Atlantek to offer some unique swim-based boat expeditions, in a number of areas throughout Cornwall. These stunning expeditions give the lucky participants an opportunity to explore the Cornish coast and rivers by luxury boat...but more importantly, swim sections of the Cornish coast that they may not ordinarily get the opportunity to experience.
As well as set routes, swimming groups can also chat to us and tailor a set of dips, swims or swim challenges, with a wide range of distances and levels of difficulty…from short head-up breaststroke plods to longer, slightly wilder sections of coastline, island swims to beautiful inaccessible (from the land) beach swims.
Set price swimming-boat expeditions are available for groups of up to 6 people. We’ll also roll out trips that allow entry by individuals.
EXPEDITIONS

Build your own 2 - 8 hour expedition £VARIOUS (Max 6 people).
ISLAND EXPEDITION : on this expedition you’ll see a huge stretch of the beautiful Lizard Peninsula before swimming a decent section of Asparagus Island, at Kynance Cove. You’ll then move onto Mullion Island where you’ll have the opportunity to swim around part of this epic rock and finally we’ll cruise around to the 3 Bears Caves swim in west Cornwall and experience swimming in these magnificent caves.
Likely swim distance 1-3km depending on group. This option is very condition dependant, we’ll put together a plan B just in case. 4 hour expedition £865 (£144pp x 6 Max.).
LONGER DISTANCE EXPEDITION : starting at the breathtaking Gillan Creek and swimming back down the estuary with the tide…back to the boat, we’ll then cruise around to the clear waters of Porthallow and will swim around the point and the old Cold World torpedo testing facility to Porthkerris. From there we’ll take another leisurely cruise to Kennack Sands and swim around to the beautiful Lankidden Cove.
Likely swim distance 2-5km depending on group. 4 hour expedition £865 (£144pp x 6 Max.).
THE EAST COAST EXPEDITION : here we’ve picked a series of stunning swims that are quite tricky to access from the land. Starting at Flushing Cove (near the Helford River mouth), we’ll swim a delightful circular route. After getting back on the boat we’ll then meander over to Lowland Point and check out the very interesting Dean Quarry and the quarries harbour. Once back in your seat, we’ll then pop over to Mears Beach / Porthbeer…Coveracks little sister, for another stunning circular swim.
Likely swim distance 1-3km depending on group. 3 hour expedition £600 (£100pp x 6 Max.).
THE HELFORD EXPLORER : the Helford River is breathtaking at the best of time…let alone on a luxury boat, cruising up the river. We’ll start with a ride up to Tremayne Quay, before jumping into the river and cruising up this stunning section of river. Once back in the boat, we’ll zigzag our way back over to the lovely Porth Navas and swim back towards the main river with the tide. Once back in the boat and warmed and refreshed, we’ll pop in for the third time, swimming from Bosahan Cove to Ponsence Cove.
Likely swim distance 1-3km depending on group. 3 hour expedition £600 (£100pp x 6 Max.).
THE ‘HARD TO ACCESS’ EXPEDITION : for this option we’ve picked swims that either require a lot of effort or are impossible to access from the land and are world class swims! Whilst Sea Swim Cornwall offer some of these swims as one-offs, the walk down will either require access by steep steps or very steep coastal paths, which might ordinarily make them impossible for some of our clients to access. This expedition includes the phenomenal Polstreath Beach, Vault Beach and a rare opportunity to swim at Dodman Point.
Likely swim distance 1-4km depending on group. 3 hour expedition £600 (£100pp x 6 Max.) or 4 hour expedition £865 (£144pp x 6 Max.).
