We had the joy of having a 2 and a half hour romantic cruise over a weekend in May 2012. Kevin met us at the quayside and could not have been more helpful or friendly. The boat itself is a delight and decorated with fresh flowers, pretty bunting, cushions, blankets, and crockery. Do not be concerned that you will be... More

Our friend booked The Picnic Boat for part of her 50th birthday celebrations during a girlie weekend in Devon. I was a little bit apprehensive as I am not the best of sailors (!) but I couldn't have had a better time. Kevin did everything he could to make the journey smooth (!) and Raine gave a fabulous commentary. We... More

I booked the picnic boat with 5 friends to celebrate my forthcoming 50th birthday, as we were staying in the Dartmouth area over the bank holiday weekend. We met Kevin and Rayne at the quay side and was immediately impressed as the boat looked like a floating tea room. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed the home made... More

I booked the picnic boat as a surprise for my husband to celebrate his 29th birthday! What a perfect couple of hours we had aboard the picnic boat with 5 other members of the family! Kevin's freshly baked scones were amazing! As we relaxed a scone in one hand a glass of bubbly in the other! Myself and the family... More

The weather for the first weekend of March was gorgeous and so the whole experience was superb. We moored up to eat and enjoyed the views , then hopped... More

What an enjoyable morning. We booked the breakfast cruise and it was such a lovely thing to do. The food was beautifully presented and very tasty. Despite it being a late November morning, we were kept warm and cosy with the onboard heating which allowed us to enjoy the scenery and food in complete comfort. Kevin and Rayne offered us... More

Kevin and Rayne, what a fantastic morning. Thank you so much. The most warm welcome on an October morning. Breakfast at Dittisham complimented with beautiful Autumn scenery, warm company, seals and laughter abound. We will be back in the New Year with family and seafood picnic. (who needs turkey!!!).

- Many thanks to Kevin and Rayne for a magical few hours cruising around the river dart. Gin and tonic in one hand, and a slice of Kevins chocolate cake in the other - fantastic..... and totally unforgettable. Would highly recommend if in Dartmouth with a few hours to spare. More
