Sailing & Watersports at Rock, Cornwall

Rock sits on the Camel Estuary — a wide, sheltered stretch of water that's genuinely one of the best places in Cornwall to get out on the water, whether that's your first sailing lesson or a proper waterskiing session. Here's how to do it, right from TREALLEN ROCK's doorstep.

Camel Ski

For watersports right on the estuary, Camel Ski is our go-to recommendation — friendly, local, and set up for everyone from complete beginners to confident skiers. As an accommodation partner of ours, we can offer TREALLEN ROCK guests a discount. Please enquire direct with Camel Ski for the discount code.

Rock Sailing & Waterski Club

RSWSC has been the heart of boating life in Rock for decades — a genuinely welcoming club with sailing for all abilities, a dedicated waterski area on the estuary, and a full calendar of racing and events through the season, including the well-known Camel Week regatta. We're proud members ourselves, and non-members can buy a short-term permit to use the ski area during their stay.

The estuary is sheltered from the Atlantic by the Doom Bar, which makes for calmer water than you'd find on the open coast — good news whether you're racing a dinghy or just learning to balance on skis for the first time.

Prefer the Open Water?

If it's waves rather than flat water you're after, Polzeath is 8 minutes away and genuinely one of Cornwall's best beginner surf beaches — see our Polzeath surfing guide for lessons and conditions.
