The Helford River featured as one of the Guardian's top six destinations in England.

'There are shoreline villages brimming with pubs and quiet gardens, while the secluded beaches and wooded inland creeks can also be explored by boat.' We agree - best explored under quiet electric power with a glass of fizz in hand!

Lonely Planet has made England the runner-up in a list of world destinations for 2020. Here, readers suggest a few of their favourite places to visit

“The season aboard Constance has been an absolute adventure; from the start of the journey, being introduced to the unfinished restoration project in a tent, through to our last cruise of the season.

We have had a huge variety of guests aboard, from near and far, some seasoned locals disembarking for a brief dip, visiting yachtsmen coming alongside for a cheeky glass of bubbles and many a yarn on the river about the history of our beautiful Victorian launch.”

David Furness, Skipper of Constance

A Victorian launch converted into a floating restaurant is being retired for the winter after a busy first season on the Helford River.

After a very successful first season Constance has now been craned out of the water for some TLC and storage until spring. Thanks to all who joined us aboard this year; we are really looking forward to the start of the season in 2020.

A fantastic 5-star review from a recent guest aboard Constance. We really appreciate guests taking the time to leave reviews after their trip and have been so pleased with the overwhelmingly positive feedback this summer.

"My brother was visiting from Dubai and this trip seemed like a good way to spend the afternoon and we were not disappointed. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

On arrival at the boat we were offered a glass of prosecco or tea/coffee and we all sat at the front of the boat for the start of the journey.

We were lucky enough to be the only three people on the boat and the weather was good. The Captain spent a lot of time with us pointing out the various building etc, along the river and was very knowledgeable. My brother spent a lot of time talking to the driver of the boat, swapping information and talking about boating in general.

You could sit at the front or back of the boat, which was uncovered, so nice on a sunny afternoon or in the covered section in the middle of the boat where our food was served.

The afternoon tea was served on china and the food was lovely. Special attention had been given to the vegetarian selection and the cakes were fantastic.

We had an absolutely fantastic afternoon and I would definitely do this trip again."

Constance has had a fantastic summer and it has been great to meet so many lovely guests on board. Another great review from a happy customer - well done team.

"Just a note to say Thank You from all of us for an excellent afternoon on Constance. A wonderfully relaxing way to celebrate various birthdays, on a very beautiful vessel being well fed and watered! All simply perfect."

We still have a few dates available for September: get in touch to book and enjoy the last of the summer weather in this beautiful part of the world.
