Scilly Isles - Pembrokeshire Cruises

Price: £748 pp

Basking in a micro climate caused by the gulf stream, the white sparkling sands and crystal clear waters create a paradise which is a closer cruising destination than you may think. With over a dozen anchorages in the archipelago to choose from the Scilly Isles is a haven of tranquillity to cruise in.

Some of our favourite islands, anchorages and visitor moorings can be found in New Grimsby Sound, lying between Tresco & Bryher, The Cove at St Agnes, with a visit to the Turks Head to wet the whistle. St Martins Bay on the east of the Island or Tean Sound on the west, offer great visitor moorings. St Marys’ Hugh Town, the capital of the Scillies is ideal for lunch at the Mermaid then a spot of shopping and victualling.

Padstow & Lundy Island are on route from Neyland to the Scillies and are a great place to stop at on your cruise. The light house and Marisco Pub on Lundy and the Fish & Chips in Padstow are worth dropping anchor for.

First Evening

Meet your skipper and fellow crew members at Neyland Marina. Over the crews first supper together in the Marina Bar your Skipper will explain the weather forecast and tidal conditions for the days ahead and discuss the Adventure Cruise itinerary. Before jumping into sleeping bags for a good nights rest, you may wish to explore the marina facilities.

First Day & onwards

Exact departure times from the Marina will vary according to weather and tidal conditions, but once under sail we will journey down to the mouth of the Cleddau Estuary and out into the Celtic Sea. After the exhilarating overnight passage we arrive amongst the wonderful Isles of Scilly and take time to explore ashore. The islands each have a different character and navigation between them provide an excellent chance to brush up on your pilotage skills.

After several days exploring the islands by sea and shore we make the return journey. We make a stop over at either Padstow an ancient, busy fishing port with picturesque cottages nestling in the narrow streets leading down to the harbour and quays or Lundy a peaceful nature reserve located off the North Devon coast, a stunning location for our last stop before heading home to Neyland Marina.

Please be aware that itineraries may be revised due to weather conditions at time of Adventure Cruise.

I have chartered from Pembrokeshire Cruises numerous times, their service and support were excellent as usual. Under the restrictions of Covid, it was a new experience taking charge of the boat but Nikki and Roland had installed an excellent hand-over and briefing procedure that worked seamlessly without fuss. I was really impressed with how effective and reassuring the procedures worked, clearly with a focus on a responsible attitude towards the safety of their clients. I have no hesitation in repeating our very successful experience. Peter Edwards 2020 – Yacht Charter – Otter Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379

Having sailed now on 4 separate occasions with Pembrokeshire Cruises, the last of which was the Isles of Scilly experience, I would highly recommend them for course training and the adventure cruises. The Isles of Scilly cruise will live long in my memory, Roland an excellent host and skipper, the weather could not have been better, the Isles of Scilly at their best and a good bunch of lads to share the experience with.

The Cleddau river estuary and the Milford Haven offers much lovely day sailing. The area beyond St Anne’s Head towards Skokholme and Skomer offers great day sailing as well as access to longer cruising along the Pembrokeshire coast or to North Cornwall, Lundy, or further afield to South east Eire or the Isles of Scilly, winds permitting. ‘Wave Function’ is well equipped and handles easily.

Considering it was the first week after Covid restrictions were eased I thought you did an excellent job. We felt extremely comfortable with the Covid measures in place. The condition of the vessel and overall charter experience was excellent to. Covered some distance from Neyland to the Isles of Scilly. The BEST week I had in 2020. Carey Feeman.

The charter hand over video was excellent and gave us the opportunity to familiarise ourselves with the vessel well ahead of boarding. Telephone support both before and during the charter from Nikki and Roland was excellent as well – thank you. Also, the staff at Neyland were very helpful in all matters. We were extremely confident with the Covid-19 measures in place. Jeremy Lewis – Yacht Charter 2020 – Wave Function Bavaria 34
