Cook's Porth

Cook's Porth is a sheltered anchorage on the western side of St Mary's, tucked just outside Hugh Town — the main hub of the Isles of Scilly. You'll drop anchor in genuinely peaceful surroundings, with easy access to Hugh Town's quay, shops, and cafés just a short dinghy ride away. It's a great base for exploring the islands, with regular inter-island boat trips running from Hugh Town to the outer islands.
