With over 30 years of experience, the centre prides itself on delivering high-quality instruction and memorable experiences for individuals, families, and groups. ​

Surfing Lessons:

Whether you're a complete novice or looking to refine your skills, Boatshed Activity Centre offers surfing lessons tailored to your needs. Conducted by fully trained ISA instructors, sessions are kept small to ensure personalised attention. Options include group lessons, private one-on-one sessions, and family lessons, all designed to get participants riding the waves with confidence. ​

Coasteering Adventures:

For those seeking an adrenaline rush, coasteering provides an opportunity to explore the rugged Cornish coastline up close. Participants will swim, climb, and jump their way around the shoreline, discovering hidden caves and waterways under the guidance of experienced instructors. Both open group sessions and private coasteering experiences are available, accommodating various preferences and group sizes. ​

Kayaking and Paddleboarding:

Explore the coastline from a different perspective with guided kayaking tours and paddleboarding (SUP) sessions. Navigate through caves, gullies, and along scenic waterways while keeping an eye out for local wildlife. The centre also offers Monster SUP adventures, where groups can work together to paddle a massive 22-foot board, making for a fun and unique team activity. ​

Additional Activities:

Beyond these core offerings, Boatshed Activity Centre provides bodyboarding lessons, equipment hire, and specialised programs such as the "Smugglers Quest." Their commitment to safety and enjoyment ensures that every participant, regardless of age or ability, can create lasting memories along Cornwall's beautiful coastline. ​

Conveniently located within the Stones Reef Complex, visitors can also enjoy amenities like the Stones Reef Beach Bar and Kitchen, Slipway Ice Cream, and Beachcomber Takeaway, making it a perfect destination for a full day of adventure and relaxation by the sea.
