Based in Newquay - the adventure capital of the South West - Paddlefish Adventure offers unique and exciting marine activities for groups, families, couples and individuals;  for both the young and the young at heart!!  Join us aboard our fast fishing boat - "The Adventuress" - for either a simple fishing trip or for a day out with a difference - a Paddlefish Adventure!  

Paddlefish adventures

Hop aboard "The Adventuress" and join us for a truly unique marine adventure! Experience the dramatic and rugged North Cornwall Coastline from the water itself. With opportunities to fish, swim, snorkel and explore the spectacular cliffs, coves, caves, inlets, crags and headlands from the unparalleled viewpoint of a kayak.  All this on just one trip, our one-of-a-kind Paddlefish Adventures really are a boat ride with a very big difference!

Along the way, look out for the diverse array of wildlife including (to name but a few!) seals, basking sharks, porpoise, dolphins, sun fish and sea birds by the thousand, and discover the history and legends that surround this magical area as we pass by countless harbours, tin mines, wrecks, castles and lighthouses.

Paddlefish Adventure welcomes the whole family on safe and sturdy sit-on top kayaks designed to make even the most nervous paddler feel at ease. Families with smaller children can even take advantage of our double kayaks to save little arms from getting tired!
