Dawlish, a charming seaside town on the south coast of Devon, England, is a delightful destination offering something for everyone. Whether you're seeking stunning beaches, rich history, or simply a relaxing escape, Dawlish has you covered.

Our Dawlish Round Robin is the perfect day out for the whole family, linking the famous seaside resort of Exmouth with the equally charming seaside resort of Dawlish.

Dawlish is visible from Exmouth seafront but getting there by road takes over 1 hour, not to mention the hassle of traffic and parking and the impact of the environment! Avoid driving all the way up into Exeter and back down the other side of the River Exe and simply hop aboard our boat for a relaxing and informative cruise across the water.

This cruise is a fabulous idea for anyone who would like to combine a beautiful boat trip with a great day trip to explore one of Devon’s finest seaside towns, combining the historic and scenic railway from Dawlish to Exmouth, as you take in breathtaking views from both boat and train.
