Scheduled sailings offer residents the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed day on the water alongside a small group of up to eight guests. Departing from Smugglers’ Cottage in Tolverne, where Alice Rose is moored on the Fal River, the experience begins at a site of historic significance. This was where General Eisenhower briefed American troops ahead of the D-Day landings in 1944.

Slipping gently from the pontoon, the cruise follows the calm and picturesque river before opening out into wider waters. Passing historic harbours and coastal villages, the journey continues towards more secluded stretches, where guests can relax at anchor in a quiet cove and take in the surrounding natural beauty.

For the 2026 season, scheduled sailings operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from May through to the end of September and are priced at £130 per person. This includes:

• A freshly prepared seafood lunch served onboard
• Return chauffeur transfers from the hotel
• Departure at 10:00am, returning in time for Afternoon Cream Tea

Sailings may be booked at reception before or after arrival. As availability is limited, advance booking is recommended.

For a more exclusive experience, Alice Rose is available for private charter on selected days by appointment, from £800 per day during the 2026 season.

Private charters include:

• A seafood lunch served onboard
• Return chauffeur transfers
• A dedicated coxswain and chief steward

Each charter is entirely bespoke, allowing guests to tailor their route, subject to weather conditions, or celebrate special occasions in complete privacy on the water

The Telegraph wrote an article on Alice Rose by Xanthe Clay, in which she reviews the Alice Rose experience. Here is a snippet of what she wrote: "An hour or so later we find a tiny bay, inaccessible from the land, with golden sand leading up to a copse of Monterey pines. It is positively Mediterranean in the sunshine..."
