Pellew – Dartmouth to Falmouth

Climb aboard Pellew in Dartmouth, set the sails and head out of the River Dart and into open waters. Whether you’re a seasoned solo sailor or a group looking to do something a bit different with your holiday, Pellew’s crew will cater for all ages and abilities.

The voyage will take you west along the English coast, passing Blackpool and Slapton Sands before reaching Salcombe and Plymouth. You might stop at any of these harbour towns, with time to go ashore and explore.

Leaving Plymouth behind her, Pellew will begin her journey along the Cornish coast – watch out for Poldark being filmed in Charlestown, and if you get the chance, be sure to go ashore in Fowey and wander through the narrow streets, steeped in history. As Pellew sails past Mevagissey, she will be sailing around the Roseland Peninsula with its hidden coves and sheltered beaches – adored by locals, it’s not hard to see why. As you round St. Anthony Head, Escape will be greeted by not one but two Tudor castles guarding the entrance to Carrick Roads – here, you will manoeuvre the yacht through the busy port to a berth in the lovely maritime town of Falmouth.

During your sailing journey, be sure to keep the binoculars close; with porpoises and dolphins often playing in the ships’ wake, make sure you’ve got your eyes peeled on the water as well as on the land for the native seabirds – guillemots, kittiwakes, kestrels and gulls.
