The Ultimate Regatta Experience: Arrive in Style by Sea

Skip the coastal traffic and the struggle for parking by joining us for a standout summer highlight. Our Dartmouth Royal Regatta cruise is a spectacular all-day excursion departing from Exmouth Marina, taking you on a scenic journey along the breathtaking South Devon coastline. Whether you choose to enjoy the fresh sea breeze on our open-top deck or relax in our comfortable, heated lower deck with panoramic windows, you’ll enjoy front-row seats to the rugged cliffs and hidden coves of the South Devon.

The Heart of the Action

We take the stress out of your excursion by landing you exactly where you need to be. Our vessel steps you ashore directly onto Dartmouth’s Embankment, placing you right in the centre of the festivities the moment you arrive.

Instant Access: No shuttle buses or long walks - you are just steps away from the rowing races, live music, and the buzzing Royal Avenue Gardens.

Prime Perspective: Enjoy unparalleled views of Kingswear Castle and Dartmouth Castle as we enter the River Dart.

The Smart Choice: Avoid the "regatta premium" on car parking, making this a natural value for money day trip for your group or family.

A Full Day Out

With a generous amount of time ashore (approximately 3.5 hours), there is plenty of time to explore the variety of available excursions at your own pace.

Explore & Shop: Browse the independent boutiques of Foss Street or the artisan markets along the waterfront.

Festival Atmosphere: Soak up the live entertainment, watch the competitive sailing, or grab a spot on the quay to cheer on the local rowing teams.

Social & Relaxed: Perfect for families with teenagers or groups of friends looking for a unique, "Gram-worthy" day out on the water.

Relax with a Local Tipple

Enhance your coastal cruise with a visit to our fully licensed onboard bar. We take pride in our selection, featuring Copperfrog Gin - distilled right here in Exmouth - alongside a curated range of local ales, ciders, and spirits. Whether you fancy a cold G&T as we sail past Teignmouth or a hot coffee to start the morning, our friendly crew are on hand to ensure your journey is seamless.

Award-Winning Service & Accessibility

As you sail, your Skipper will provide live, informative commentary, sharing the history of the South Devon coast and the heritage of the Royal Regatta itself.
