About us

The Cawsand Ferry service provides regular daily crossings between the Barbican Landing Stage on Plymouth's famous Barbican and the beautiful beaches and Cornish villages of Cawsand and Kingsand on the Rame peninsula.

Our spectacular half hour crossing is the perfect way to see this beautiful part of Cornwall or to go sight-seeing and shopping in and around Plymouth. A wonderful boat trip in itself, The Cawsand Ferry offers a truly fantastic day out!

Unspoilt by time, the historical fishing and smuggling villages of Cawsand and Kingsand have secluded beaches, spectacular walks and magnificent scenery in this forgotten corner of Cornwall. You can be sure of a warm welcome in the many pubs, restaurants, shops and cafes.
