St Mawes Ferry runs a harbour boat trip from Prince of Wales Pier in Falmouth, crossing to St Mawes with landing included. Dogs travel free and are welcome aboard, which means everyone can enjoy the short crossing without splitting up the group or leaving anyone waiting on the pier. It is a straightforward boat day out and the route connects dog owners to St Mawes Castle and the village beyond.

Tickets are sold from the Yellow Kiosk on Prince of Wales Pier and dogs must be kept on leads at all times while aboard. The ferry runs with published departures, fares and booking details, so it is easy to build into a Falmouth harbour day. Trips are weather and circumstances permitting, which is standard for harbour crossings.

For dog owners piecing together a harbour day out from Falmouth, this is a handy paws-included option that keeps the dog part of the plan rather than a logistical problem. The free travel for dogs and clear lead policy make it easy to plan around and landing in St Mawes opens up castle visits and village exploring.
