St Mawes Kayaks

St Mawes Kayaks St Mawes Kayaks Welcome to St Mawes Kayaks. I started out in rowing dinghies, until I was allowed a little 2hp outboard! I relocated to St.

Owned and operated by Mark Bower.

“I began boating in the early 1970s, when my parents purchased a wooden motor cruiser (called “Paramour”), and a mooring at Dale in Pembrokeshire. I learnt to sail in a “Mirror”, and bought my first RIB in 1987. It’s fair to say I caught the boating-bug early, and have enjoyed being on the water ever since. Mawes in 2005 and set-up St Mawes Sit-on Kayaks in 2007.

In 2009 I expanded into RIB (rigid inflatable boat) rides and a water taxi service, and took on an assistant during July and August. In 2010 I launched my first XS RIB “Paramour”, fully licensed for 8 passengers. Paramour was sold in December 2018, and in March 2019 I launched "Paramour 2"; a 7.2 metre, 200hp RIB. Once again built to my specification by XS RIBs in the UK and fully licensed for nine passengers. "Paramour 2" was sold in October 2020, when I decided to run the kayaks only from 2021. So if pottering with a paddle floats your boat, I look forward to getting you waterborne from St. Mawes very soon.”

Use the kayaks to explore the tranquil Percuil River and hidden creeks, go as far as the lighthouse at St. Anthony's Head, if conditions are favourable, or St. Just in Roseland Church. Under paddle power you get to see things that can be missed from land and you can enjoy the absolute peace of the area. See the web site for full details and prices.

I love the contrast between our gorgeous summers days and the harsh winter storms we encounter in St Mawes.
