This voyage will be leaving from Cardiff in Wales, around the south-westerly peninsula of England to end up in Plymouth. The water is an excellent way to discover the Cornish coastline and its iconic seaside towns.

Before you join Eye of the Wind in Cardiff, take part in a guided tour of the city and gain an insight into the city’s local history and its peculiar language. Special theme tours deal with the topics of nature and the environment, Welsh culture, or legends and ghost stories. Cardiff is a city packed with many sightseeing spots, sports, culture and entertainment. Historic houses and castles, nature and animals, art or water sports … there are all kinds of entertainment to enjoy, with theatres, galleries, museums, opera, ballet, musicals and live music to suit every taste.

As you sail from Wales and down the coast, you will likely stop at Ilfracombe, St Ives, Mount’s Bay, Falmouth, Fowey and Charlestown, both featured in the hit TV show Poldark. Along the coast, you’ll notice idyllic-looking headlands, golden sand beaches, crystal clear waters and rolling meadows. Spot the two castles either side of the Falmouth river mouth, St. Mawes and Pendennis. St. Mawes stands proudly as the most elaborately decorated of Henry VIII’s artillery fortresses built in the 14thC, and despite its excellent condition, it has been developed very little since it was built – unlike Pendennis. Playing a role in plenty of combat situations since being built in the 1540’s, Pendennis has defended Falmouth during the Civil War in 1646, acted as a key supply base against the French and Portuguese in the 1800’s, and was active during both the First and Second World Wars, with Half Moon Battery’s Guns – able to fire up to 14 miles out to sea!

The time at sea is yours to make your own and guests are invited to become as involved as much as they like by taking the wheel, navigating or hauling the ropes. Alternatively, just sit back, relax and soak up the sights as the gorgeous Cornish coast passes you by, keeping eyes peeled for dolphins, basking sharks and a host of bird life, including the world’s fastest flying bird, the Peregrine falcon, which has made a strong comeback along the Cornish coastline recently.

Travel insurance notes

As this is an active adventure holiday, we advise that everyone has the appropriate personal accident travel insurance whilst onboard in addition to standard travel insurance which would cover you in the time between making your booking and departing for your adventure. These policies can sometimes be combined so please check with your travel insurance provider.
