Sailing adventures with pilot cutter Pellew

Pellew is a faithful recreation of the Falmouth Pilot Cutter Vincent, originally built in 1852 and based in St Mawes she was a familiar sight on the Fal estuary for 70 years, eventually retiring from service in 1922. Today, the spirit of tradition lives on and Pellew is strongly built to sail the oceans of the world with her guests travelling in utmost comfort and safety. Originally designed and built for speed and seaworthiness, pilot cutters would carry pilots out to sea, meeting ocean-going ships arriving with cargos bound for Europe. Whatever the weather and however rough the seas these courageous pilot cutters were an integral part of maritime life in the south-west of England. Join pilot cutter Pellew on her sailing adventures across Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, France and Spain. There's no sailing experience required to jump onboard - just a taste for adventure!
