Don’t Let a Little Rain Dampen Your Day:

Discover the Unique Magic of an Exmouth Cruise, Whatever the Weather!

When planning things to do in Exmouth, it’s natural to dream of glorious sunshine, sparkling blue waters, and golden beaches. But here at Stuart Line Cruises, we’re thrilled to let you in on one of our favourite secrets: some of the most captivating and truly unforgettable cruises happen when the weather isn’t picture-perfect. Forget the misconception that a wet day equals a miserable outing – we promise you, it’s far from it!

While many might seek shelter indoors at the first hint of rain, our modern, spacious, and comfortable vessels are designed to offer an exceptional experience, come rain or shine. Our lower decks are fully enclosed, wonderfully warm, and feature expansive panoramic windows, ensuring you have uninterrupted, sweeping views of the changing Devon scenery from the cosy comfort of your seat. You’ll stay perfectly dry, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere that only a wet day can bring to the coastline.

There’s a distinctive magic that unfolds when the skies open up or a gentle mist descends. The vibrant greens of the estuary banks and the rich reds of the Jurassic Coast cliffs seem to deepen, gaining a dramatic intensity that sunshine often masks. The air, crisp and fresh, carries the subtle scent of the sea, while the usual sounds of the shore are beautifully softened, replaced by a calming sense of peace on the water. It’s a quieter, more intimate journey, offering a perspective that many never get to experience.

We’ve witnessed these transformations firsthand. Think back to our special Christmas Day Swim cruise last year. The fog rolled in, blanketing the River Exe in an ethereal, almost otherworldly shroud. You couldn’t see the opposite shore, but the feeling of stillness and calm was profound. It was a moment of pure tranquility, a serene escape that was genuinely unforgettable for everyone on board. On other days, a gentle drizzle might highlight the glistening textures of the cliffs or create incredible reflections on the water, turning familiar landmarks into something new and captivating. Even wildlife, from our resident seals to the myriad of wading birds, often seems more relaxed and visible in the quieter conditions.

Beyond the views, your comfort is our priority. Our onboard licensed bar is always well-stocked with a wide selection of hot drinks – perfect for warming up on a cooler day. Imagine sipping a steaming hot chocolate or a rich coffee, perhaps enjoying a local pasty on a Guided Bordwatching Cruise, or a tasty snack, all while gazing out at the captivating, ever-changing landscape passing by. Our friendly crew are always on hand to serve you, ensuring you don’t even have to leave your comfortable seat. With accessible facilities and stable boats, a little rain simply adds to the adventure, rather than detracting from it.

So, next time the forecast looks less than sunny, don’t let it put a damper on your plans for things to do in Exmouth. Instead, embrace the opportunity for a truly unique and atmospheric adventure. Step aboard a Stuart Line Cruise, settle into the warmth of our lower saloon, and let the magic of the Devon coastline on a wet or misty day reveal itself. It’s an experience that proves the beauty of our local waters truly knows no bounds, whatever the weather may hold.
