Tiger Lilly Boat Trips St Ives Reviews

Not sure why this review didn’t appear at the time…., message said fake engagement but I can guarantee you we paid full price and definitely went ob this trip although 18 months ago now. We booked same day for a fishing trip as an all adult family group last minute as we were walking round the harbour. Andy and his father were great skippers, who both made us feel welcome and helped us have a go and gave us some local tips for places to visit and eat. Sadly only caught one Pollack which seemed to be the only fish in the sea that day! Would be happy to use them again if in the area.

Amazing trip to seal island We had an amazing time on the boat trip, to seal island, we were extremely lucky with the weather to be able to sail and Andy the skipper was really knowledgeable and friendly. We saw several seals and really enjoyed the sailing - we would definitely do it again if we return!

Seal trip with family/ friends We are a group of 6 adults and 6 kids, we had a really good experience from the moment we set off until we were back. Andy was great, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw all the seals which we all loved, and everyone had a great time. It didnt feel rushed at all. Would definitely recommend! Every single one of us had a great time.

Went on the tiger lilly fishing trip with the kids. We all had a brilliant time, loads of fish caught, well worth it. FYI the "captains tips box" is NOT an ornament. And it only accepts NOTES. 🤨

Amazing mackerel fishing trip, we caught loads and took it home to eat, Andy was so helpful and the trip ran smoothly! It’s worth knowing it’s dog friendly as well

A superb fishing trip , everyone caught a fish! We found the Tiger Lilly boat trip on line and after reading the impressive reviews we decided to book this. We chose a fishing trip as our boys are keen on fishing, and the boat was dog friendly which was also important to us as we had our dog with us. Andy was extremely informative and helpful, as was Leanne at point of booking. The trip was great, everyone on the boat caught a fish and we all took it home and were able to eat the fish if we chose to do so. Highly recommended trip if you enjoy fishing!

We have been on holiday in Cornwall this week and had two wonderful trips with Tiger Lilly. My children and husband went on the sea fishing trip and later on that day we all went on the seal island trip. Andy the skipper was fantastic, so knowledgeable, friendly and great with nervous passengers. The views we saw were fantastic. There was so many seals! (Fishing trip was also brilliant). It exceeded our expectations and we will certainly use this company for all our future boat trips when we visit again. We will also be passing on their details to friends and family. We would highly recommend.

Amazing trip. Captain (Andy) was a fountain of knowledge and very friendly. We saw some incredible rare sunfish (4 in fact!) and found out a lot about the local area. Would recommend over other boats trips as there were much fewer people on it.

Outstanding trip to Godrevey with Tiger Lilly team yesterday. Rich on the front desk sent helpful arrival info and checked us in. Andy on the boat was superb. We had loads of time spotting the seals on the rocks, great background info about the wildlife and the history of the lighthouse. We had a really long / great value visit in terms of other boats coming and going. The icing on the cake was seeing the dolphins on the way back in and seeing pregnant seal "Wings" right next to the boat Brilliant value, thanks again

Just got back from a fantastic trip on the Tiger Lilly! We saw seals and dolphins and got to meet Wings, the resident seal in the harbour. Andy our skipper was so knowledgeable and Richard on the desk super friendly. We would thoroughly recommend it!
