Very nice ferry service up the river from Dartmouth. Especially on the way home the skipper was very chatty pointong out things of interest along the route The ferry trip best combined with trip to Greenway House. There is also a way of getting there via Vintage Bus which looks fun as well

The boat was on time and had a mixture of sheltered and open seating. The crew were knowledgeable. There were hot and cold drinks available. It was a good boat trip with an easy change of boats to get to our destination. Thoroughly enjoyable trip.

At only £2 return we got the ferry from Torquay harbour to Brixham harbour. 30 minutes of beautiful views each way, friendly staff, highly recommended!

At only £2 per person return everybody must do this trip over to brixham from Torquay. Perfect for the kids and only a 30 minute ride over the sea, lovely views . Much much better than having to drive and park. The boats are perfect and the crew are amazing. I can't believe there weren't more people taking the ferry....

Insted of taking the car to paighton and Torquay we decided to take the ferry and it was cheaper than fuel and paying car park fees. They are very often and a nice way to see the coast from the sea. Easy to find and clean and comfortable.

We thought the cruise was excellent value for money but we did get fed up hearing about their price wars with Alfred McAlpine. Whilst we...

I'm very fortunate to live in Torbay and to literally have one of the most spectacular paces in the entire UK right on my doorstep. It's a genuinely stunning bay and just about the best way to enjoy it is on a boat trip. So many people live in Torbay and never set foot on a boat, which I think...

The Torquay to Brixham ferry is great value for money. £2.00 for a return trip, well worth it. It takes approx 30 mins to get across the bay which is only about 10 mins more than if you drive. Add to that, that you have no parking fees and it makes for a nice day out.

Last weekend the weather was lovely, so we took a trip on the Fairmile once again, this time to Slapton from Dartmouth on the Heritage Cruise.
The crew are both friendly and informative.
I had recently travelled on the Fairmile in the Illuminated River Procession at Dartmouth Regatta, where she was the lead. It was an atmospheric and pleasurable experience,...
