Cruise along the Exeter Canal

Cruise along the oldest working shipping canal in Europe!

Join us travelling at a relaxing pace as we sail along Exeter Canal, sit back and soak up the scenery, watch the locks come to life, the swing bridge majestically open, before enjoying the seaside town of Exmouth or Exeter’s Historic Quayside.

This is a one-way trip where you can either board from Exmouth to travel up to Exeter or depart from Exeter to travel to Exmouth. For your return journey there are ample public transport links within a few minutes flat walk at both Exmouth and Exeter and our crew will be happy to point the way!

This trip will sail through 8 miles of man-made waterway and make use of two manually operated locks at Turf Locks and Double Locks.

Including a trip under the M5 Motorway Bridge the boat will also cause the main Exeter to Dawlish road to come to a halt as the Countess Weir Swing Bridge is opened to allow our passage through.

Ample public transport links are available including a glorious walk along the banks of the River Exe from Exmouth to Topsham. There are also trains and buses that run back to Exeter regularly.
