    Welcome

    Port Navas Yacht Club is a friendly members club that welcomes visitors.

    Founded in 1958, the Club is part of the picturesque village of Port Navas, set on the beautiful Helford River. From the Club you have access onto The Helford river and out into Falmouth Bay. Or you can go inland down the river to Gweek passing ancient oak forests on the way – but make sure you get the tides right.

    We have 34 Pontoon berths, 12 Trot moorings, 7 Swing moorings, 27 beach moorings and racks for small dinghies. For more information on moorings, including prices, see MOORINGS section. Parking is, we are afraid, limited. Where possible, or when the car park is full, please could you park in the village and walk along the charming river front – it’s a three minute walk and good for you!

    We welcome members and visitors alike to the bar and restaurant.

    Visiting boats can use the pontoon, The Club, the shower and loos – see VISITORS section.  All boat owners are members and we have a very loyal section of Social Members who, at £25 a year, help us to run The Club.  See MEMBERS section.

    Reality bites hard

    The speed of transmission and spread throughout our community is startling, but not unexpected. It puts everyone on edge a little more, and, for us as a team, even though we work together, we are a mixture of three different households and we feel that that is currently too much of a risk.

    DIY for a while

    Sorry guys and gals, but we have decided to shut up shop for a few weeks until we can see a bit more of a light at the end of this particular tunnel. Nigel, Debs and I will be in this week to do some spring cleaning and sorting out stock, so you may well see us around the site on a couple of days. We will be extra vigilant whilst there and would also ask anyone in the area to do the same.

    Looking forward to happier times soon.

    Many thanks for your continued support.

    Here we go again, back down the rabbit hole

    As you will all be aware, we are now in the grip of a faster spreading coronavirus and all restaurants bars and cafés are now closed except for takeaway. We will be running our takeaway on Thursday nights as we did before, but with a couple of tweaks.

    I really need to be able to check prices and availability of produce before producing my menu, so I will be doing that on Monday mornings now. That means the menu will now be published at 2pm on Monday afternoon and we will take orders until 6pm on Tuesday evening, but no later please (I need some time to myself!)

    Heavens only knows how long we will be in this lockdown situation, so we must just make the most of it. I have tweaked the menu a little bit by adding a couple of starters to the mix. Please note that we will only sell these as part of a full order, so will not sell them as standalone products as it is simply not economical to so do.

    Mike is looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow.

    The whole team at PNYC bar & restaurant would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a safe  and healthy 2021. Happy New Year!

    Many thanks for your continued support.

    Mike & Nigel

    WILL BEATTIE

    Our thoughts are with Will Beattie, Jo and his family.  Will has been seriously ill (not covid) prior to Christmas.  We wish him a full recovery.

    CHRISTMAS

    Dear all, we hope that you have had a lovely Christmas given the circumstances and we wish you all health, happiness and company for 2021. Roll on the vaccines and getting back to normal for one and all !  

    I can report that The Helford was beautiful on Christmas Day with the sun shining (see picture above) after what seemed like two weeks of constant rain. Grebe Beach had a steady flow of people coming down to enjoy the view and congratulations to all of the crazy people who swam. I can include our three kids, Elsa, Flora and Angus (their cousins) and my sister-in-law Vicky in that list. Ant and I chickened out.

    PNYC IN 2020

    It’s been an interesting year for PNYC and especially challenging for Nigel and Mike. Ant and I would like to thank them on all our behalves for keeping the bar and restaurant open during these challenging times and we hope that next year will be easier.  As of yesterday they have had to cancel their New Year’s Eve feast due to us going into Tier 3 which is a great shame.  We also had to cancel a lot of holiday bookings, both in the Spring, then in November and now over Christmas and New Year.  But PNYC will be here in all its glory for 2021.

    MOORINGS FOR SUMMER 2021

    We will be in touch with boat owners early January about Summer 2021. We were completely full this Summer and have a waiting list for pontoon spaces and a small waiting list for beach moorings for the coming season. If you know you don’t want your mooring again, I would be grateful if you could let me know (admin@pnyc.co.uk) so that we can address the waiting lists.  The mooring fees remain the same as 2019 and 2020 for all moorings with the exception of kayaks and inflatable dinghies.

    MEMBERSHIP FOR 2021 – £25

    The membership for next year is £25 per adult. You can download an application form from the website.  For ease, you can fill it out and take a picture/scan of the form and just email the picture to admin@pnyc.co.uk. We will then print out the form and send you membership cards. If you are paying online the details are:  PNYC Ltd, 30-80-48, 51425568, Lloyds Bank
    Please could you make sure that you include your name as a reference when paying so I know where the money has come from and ideally let me know that you have paid online.   
    We have introduced a Launching Membership for those who want to regularly launch small craft from the slipway or pontoon (ie paddle boards or kayaks). We have introduced this following a sharp rise in the number of people wanting to use paddle boards and kayaks. There is a public slip in the village which can be used for this purpose.

    This year, with your kind support, we intend to do the following:  

    • Improve the outside seating areas at the club.  
    • Install some kind of webcam so that you can log on and see live pictures of the pontoon and water by the club.  
    • Replace the broken electrical sockets on the beach wall
    • Repair and repaint the black iron lamp post by the entrance
    • Re-varnish the table tops inside the club – sorry for the delay Mike and Nigel!
    • And paint everything again.  It’s all looking quite green.
