We're thrilled to announce a NEW boat cruise for 2024: the 'East meets West' boat trip from Ilfracombe harbour. This special cruise is exclusively for those occasions when the Bristol Channel boasts its magnificent 10-meter-plus tides. A wonderful tour of the North Devon coast, this 3-hour voyage combines all the scenic highlights into one incredible journey.

Embrace the Westward Wonders

Our adventure begins as we cruise westward from Ilfracombe, towards the rugged charm of Morte Point. On this leg of the voyage, the sea becomes a playground for the local wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for the playful porpoises and the occasional sunfish basking in the ocean's surface. There’s even the chance to spot dolphins, arcing gracefully through the waves, a sight that is just wonderful to watch.

As we make our way to Rockham Bay, the scene transitions from the deep blue sea to the coastal quirks of our shoreline. Here, we'll meet the seal colonies that lounge along Morte Point, basking in their natural habitat. The journey then sweeps you past the stoic Bull Point Lighthouse and through the serene embrace of Lee Bay.

A Return Journey Packed with Coastal Gems

Our return past the historic Tunnels Beaches and Ilfracombe Harbour marks the end of the west and the beginning of the east . As we navigate eastward, the cruise takes a contemplative turn with the mystique of the Smugglers Caves and the breathtaking onset of Exmoor National Park.

The voyage continues as we sail by Watermouth Harbour, with its imposing castle by the sea, and Hangman Hills with it’s history of tales. Our final treasure is the secluded Broadsands Beach. Affectionately termed 'Little Thailand', this beach remains one of North Devon’s best-kept secrets, with its crystal-clear waters and tranquil sands.

Join Us for an Unforgettable Experience

The 'East meets West' boat trip is an unmissable event. This special cruise is offered on a limited basis and is a celebration of the natural ebb and flow that brings our coast to life.
