Would you like to book a holiday break on The Boy John?
Please use this calendar to make a booking. To double check that the dates you want are available or if you have any queries please email us at smugglerscoveboatyard@gmail.com or phone us on 01654 767037.
The boat can sleep 2 adults & 2 children, if the following sleeping arrangements work for you: The main stern cabin has a small double/queen bed (foam mattress). There are two narrow single cushioned benches in the living space (approx 182cm long and 61cm wide) which can be used for sleeping on by children or the petite! A short ladder takes you up to the wheelhouse, this features a high bench style day bed that can be pulled out to make another small double/queen bed (182cm long, so shorter than a normal bed). Just get in touch if you are not sure if your party fits.
Should you wish to also book our camping pitches or the Hannah for your stay please mention this to us or book directly here:
Please bring your own bedding & towels etc. The mattresses are foam. Please be aware Smuggler's Cove Boatyard is a working boatyard and therefore there will possibly be some noise such as clanking rigging and people working on or launching their boats. We also get the occasional group of Outward Bound students having canoeing lessons on the slipway! There can be moments of peace and tranquility but also hubbub and excitement :) The Cambrian railway line runs on a raised embankment through our boatyard, and the coastal A493 road passes above on the hill, separated from the site by trees and slate slopes...these don't seem to bother most of our campers, but we just want to make this clear.
It can get pretty windy and wild on the foreshore during stormy weather, and you are very close to the water, which can be exciting but is just something else to be aware of!
A polite reminder that this boat is an old sailing vessel, there are nooks and crannies, exposed wood, marks, scuffs and features from its life on the waves, and we have tried to keep it's character and not turn it into a holiday cottage! The conversion is professional but simple and rustic, please don't expect a hotel standard of finish.
