About this tour
A private one-hour boat tour departing from Torquay's MDL Marina, navigating Devon's rugged coastline past moored superyachts and into open water.

The skipper handles all navigation while you take in the geological features and marine life that define the English Riviera.
Highlights

- Hunt for resident dolphin pods in the bay

- Explore secluded caves and coves by water

What to expect
After a brief safety talk and lifejacket fitting at the hub, you'll board your boat and cruise out of the busy marina. Once in open water, the pace slows as the skipper navigates the dramatic coastline, pointing out notable geological formations and keeping watch for marine life. Dolphin sightings aren't guaranteed but sightings do happen regularly. You'll duck into narrow coves inaccessible by land and see how the cliffs have been sculpted over millennia. Expect wind and spray—the Channel keeps things cool year-round.
Good to know
Bring multiple layers; wind chill on the water is significant even on mild days. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries. Service animals are welcome. Public transport reaches the marina easily.
