The cruise to Teignmouth takes us up close and personal to most of the natural sights and wonders on the English Riviera Coast.
We sail up and out of the Northern side of Torbay into Teignmouth bay, and along the way we pass Hopes Nose, Thatcher Rock & The Orestone – home to many native sea bird species.
The skipper will point out spots and places of interest before we soon arrive into the Teignmouth Estuary – into Teignmouth, known locally as the “Gem of the Southwest”. You’ll be hopping off at around 12:45pm.
