A Timeless Cornish Gem set on the Helford River
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.
The Club welcomes visitors – by boat, by foot and by car.
We have 26 Pontoon berths, 18 creek moorings, 32 beach moorings and racks for small dinghies. 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!
Our small and quirky Club house serves great value food and drink.
Visiting boats can use the pontoon, The Club, the shower and the loos.
PNYC is managed by Tom and Antonia (Ant) Ellemann.
Applications for Social Membership of the Port Navas Yacht Club would be welcomed. You can download an application form here: Social Membership Application

Pontoons
We have replaced some of the old chicken wire with galvanised mesh to improve walking on the pontoons. We’ll keep going until it has all been renewed. The club dinghy is being worked on next week and we hope to get her back on the pontoon for use as a general tender within the next three weeks.

Summer Opening Hours

We believe that the food is great value. And we also offer the cheapest pint on the Helford at only £3 for Members. We have Keltek Phoenix Bitter on draught and are shortly going to add Skinners Porthleven Bitter. So do call 01326 340065 to book a table and try it out!
