St Mawes Ferry

About

The St Mawes Ferry brings the charm of Cornwall’s Falmouth and St Mawes together on a short, 20‑minute cruise across the Carrick Roads. Operated year‑round, the ferry runs every day and offers up to three sailings per hour in summer and a regular hourly service in winter, catering to both locals and tourists. The historic route takes passengers past the impressive St Mawes and Pendennis castles, the working docks of Falmouth, and offers wildlife sightings of seals and dolphins. Dog‑friendly, bike‑friendly and contactless payment options make it a convenient and enjoyable way to experience the beautiful riverside scenery. With over 162,000 passengers a year, it remains one of Cornwall’s most popular boat trips.
