Meet the Heroes of Cornwall's Skies

The Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust team will be on board during the day, sharing inspiring stories from their vital life-saving service. Since launching as the UK's first air ambulance in 1987, they have completed over 32,000 missions, providing critical emergency care across Cornwall's remote beaches, rural communities, and challenging terrain. Your journey on the ferry is free, but we encourage you to donate to the Cornwall Air Ambulance if you can.
