Booking in advance
In high season, the Helford is a popular destination and visitor moorings are at a premium. To avoid disappointment, we recommend that you pre-book a mooring if your vessel is under 6.5m.
We regret that we are unable to reserve visitor moorings for vessels over 6.5m.
If you wish to leave your boat unattended in the river for any period longer than two weeks, please contact the moorings officer first.
We are working with Moored Solutions to provide instant bookings and payments.
We suggest that you set up a Moored account prior to your arrival to ensure an even smoother payment process.
