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’re afraid, limited. Two spaces are reserved for people staying in Upper and Lower Deck flats and the rest is reserved for pontoon members (but limited to just one car) and people eating at the club bar and restaurant.
Please park in the village up on the left hand side of the road just below the small chapel as you head towards Constantine. The parking is free and it is 3 minute walk back to the club. Thank you.
Visiting boats can use the pontoon 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.
The Port Navas Yacht Club is managed by Tom and Antonia (Ant) Ellemann.

It is open every Thursday to Friday for drinks and food throughout the year and then opens additional days as the Spring and Summer arrive.

Tripadvisor:
Cosy ambience, utterly yummy food and wine.. really lovely staff. Cannot recommend enough! This is a total gem of a place! Mar 2024This place is fantastic, we had dinner on the Saturday night, all we can say is wow! The food and service was outstanding. Mar 2024
The service is second to none, although a popular spot with locals and sailors, so a good idea to pre book. The food is fantastic, a little fusion and different dishes depending on the season. Jun 2024
Lovely restaurant by the beautiful Helford river we had freshly made pizza that were delicious, would definitely come back. Service was excellent. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Jul 2024
Google Review:
Honestly one of the wonders of Cornwall. Fantastic food and amazing hospitality! We loved our dinner overlooking the water, enjoying the company of the locals who come in and out! The menu was incredible and changed across the two nights we ate. Superb. A great way to honeymoon! Jun 24

WORKS
We have started to restore the lamp post by the entrance of the club and plan to install a solar lamp. And we have tarmac’d the road in front of The Old Kiln – removing the old inverted speed bumps (some call them pot holes) so that you can now make a smooth entrance into the club.

CORAL CORONA UPDATE
Martha and Finn are currently sailing their elderly 29ft Westerly Konsort back from Paxos to Port Navas to raise money for Alzheimers and Surfers Against Sewage. Currently they just off Ogliastro Marina heading North to Capri. You can follow their ventures at a_sail_to_remember on instagram and there is a Just Giving Fund Raising link: https://www.instagram.com/a_sail_to_remember?igsh=MTF5NHppa3VxbjhleQ==. They hope to be back at PNYC early September.
Nancy enjoyed their sail last year so much that she is now working as crew on a super yacht in the Med.
