Our Offerings
Visit all the Islands and wildlife.
We publish a weekly timetable on a Saturday covering trips to all other islands, gig races and anything special happening that week e.g. community fetes or a trip to Samson.
Click the Tab in the top menu to download your timetable for the week.
We meet every Scillonian arrival and your luggage will be transferred from the hold directly to the boat. No need to rummage in the container!
We also offer wildlife trips, adhering to WiSe certification, to ensure safe watching for you and the least disturbance for all our precious wildlife.
Sea Taxi Services
You can book us as you would a taxi on the mainland. We can meet you off a flight or take you and your family on a special trip. We also take bookings for scattering of ashes at sea (must be approved). We are always keen for people to share these trips so they can often work out cheaper than you expect.
Business and Environmental Charters
We have experienced and knowledgeable skippers who can support your work. We work with local and national Wildlife and Environmental Charities and Universities. Anything from seabird surveys, seabed surveys and licenced drone work. John normally covers this work and has been living and working on the sea around Scilly all his life. You can be sure you are in safe and knowledgeable hands.
Professional and Knowledgeable Skippers and Crew
At St. Agnes Boating, we are dedicated to providing safe and enjoyable boating experiences for everyone. All the members of our small team are passionate about the water and our environment. We are WiSe trained and whilst working with others towards greener forms of fuel, we carbon offset our business. Our staff are fully qualified to Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) Standards, and undergo regular medical checks. The boats are fully insured and inspected annually by the MCA.
