SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER! ☀️
As you probably know, life in Cornwall gets very very busy over the next 6 weeks!
If you’ve booked a trip or self-hire with us, please aim to arrive as early as possible. Travel and parking can be tricky this time of year—trust us, it’s far better to arrive in Fowey with time for a coffee than rushing and stressing to make your slot.
🚤 Seafari boat rides depart on time and can’t run late. You need to be up by the car ferry at Caffa mill -
PL231df.
⏰ Arriving Late for self-hire will eat into your time on the water, as we need everything back ready for the next booking (or to close up!). All self hires and this includes kayaks,sups and motorboats are at our base on Albert Quay, which is in the middle of the town. Absolutely avoid driving through town it’s emotionally draining.
📞 Phone Lines
They get very busy, ridiculously busy! Instead of calling repeatedly, please leave a voicemail and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
👉 99% of what you need is on our website, and it’s super easy to book online. Foweyriverhire.co.uk
Think of it as our 24-hour receptionist that works for free 🤣
(Plus, if you book over the phone… we just enter it online anyway 🙏 please save us the spelling mistakes and work !)
🚶 Walk-ins
You’re absolutely welcome to just turn up! But please don’t be disappointed if we don’t have exactly what you’re after.
If you can, avoid our busiest times that would be great:
* 10am–11am (everything heading out)
* 1pm–2pm (everything coming back & going out again)
⏳ Last hire is 3:59pm 🤣 as our minimum hire is for an hour.
By 4pm, we’re already thinking about packing everything away and what we are having for dinner.
Let’s have a cracking summer and we look forward to getting you out on the water!
