The James Stevens No 10, which served as the lifeboat in St Ives from 1899 until 1933, was rescued from a boatyard in Essex a month before it was due to be scrapped and has recently emerged from a complete refit. The Dolly Pentreath is a traditional Cornish fishing lugger and was built in St. Ives, Cornwall in 1993. Licensed to sail from any port with 12 persons, 60 miles offshore. She has an experienced crew. She looks good and sails well. She is based in St. Ives, Cornwall, but will travel anywhere.

Both vessels are now operating as leisure boats making daily trips to Seal Island and are both available for charter.

Take a 3 mile trip Westward to Seal Island, where you can observe the grey Atlantic seals at play or rest… or even dolphins and sunfish. After leaving the harbour and rounding The Island, you will pass Porthmeor Beach, and The Tate Gallery, then continue along the beautiful rugged Cornish cliffs and secluded coves, before reaching the famous Seal Island.
