Canoe Hire

Our Kayak Hire service allows those with previous kayaking experience the chance to explore the river at your own pace. From short fun paddles for an hour or two around the Lerryn area, enjoying a very different view of the village, through to daily and weekly hire for those intent on some more serious water based exploring of the estuary and its inlets whilst on holiday.

Whatever your plans, our canoe hire gives you complete freedom with the chance to pull in along many of the creeks for a picnic, a casual explore, or just a rest amongst the peaceful beauty. With fascinating villages to visit on your travels and the coastal port of Fowey and Polruan to visit, your canoe is the key to unlocking this magical area.

We hire out our single and double kayaks (perfect for families) and all your buoyancy aids, paddles and dry bags are included. These will be prepared for you to collect at your launch site at an agreed time in Lerryn / Fowey / Golant / Lostwithiel. We will then provide you with a large scale OS based river map and give a full safety briefing on the river, including advice on tides and suggested routes for you to follow.

For a small charge, we can offer a pick up or drop off service for you and your canoes for one way paddling trips with the tide to or from Fowey, Golant, St Winnow and Lostwithiel. Please tell us on the booking form if you have any collection / drop off requirements as we may be going to your destination on that day anyway!

Remember the river Fowey is a tidal river and if you are only planning a short hire of less than 24 hours contact us now with your preferred Kayak hire date. We will then advise you of the tide times to make sure you have the right water for your paddling.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Short hire options are only available from Lerryn - but it's the perfect venue for short paddles! Hire needs to be prebooked so that we can reserve your equipment for you.

Buoyancy aids must be worn at all times.

Anyone hiring kayaks must must have previous kayaking experience and will need to advise us of this and of their trip plans. Anyone wanting to gain kayaking experience should join us on our Taster Sessions or guided Canoe Trips.

Under 18's can only use hire canoes where accompanied by parents / guardians.

Canoes can only be used within the Estuary boundaries. The upper and lower limits for our canoe use are the harbour at Fowey and the road bridge at Lostwithiel (our canoes are not designed for sea trips or rapids!) but that leaves many miles of paddling and exploring a multitude of creeks, inlets and villages in between.

Encounter Cornwall supports British Canoe Union policies and guidance including their advice on not canoeing alone.
