Britain's What's On Event Guide
Countess Wear Evening Cruise
Summer Evening Pleasure Cruise in Devon
Spend an incredible summer’s night relaxing and watching the sunset on the water on our Countess Wear Evening Cruise. There are only a few times a year when, on the highest of tides, we can sail the full navigable length of the river, up to Countess Wear.
With plenty of time and tides for us to explore all the nooks and crannies along the way, this leisurely cruise makes for an idyllic way to spend a Summer’s evening.
Setting sail from Exmouth at 7pm, we cruise along the waters of the River Exe with intimate waterside views before we come to Topsham. This iconic Devon town can be found on the eastern side of the River Exe just before it meets with the River Clyst. Once renowned as a thriving port, Topsham is now filled with award-winning restaurants, cafes, boutiques and independent shops.
From Topsham, we continue up towards Countess Wear where we take a moment to take in the scenery before we slowly turn around for the return journey home.
Throughout the cruise there is always live and interesting commentary from the Skipper, who will be pointing out all there is to see in this rich and diverse waterscape. This particular stretch of the River Exe is award-winning as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is also a designated RAMSAR site as a Wetland of International Importance, so you can be sure there will be oodles of wildlife and nature to see along the way.
One of the highlights of this cruise has to be some of the most beautiful sunsets you will see on the river and what better way to view them than from one of our traditional yet up to date boats. Choose from either the outside upper deck where there is plenty of fresh air and cosy blankets for you to snuggle up as the sun goes down, or our inside lower deck with its large windows and panoramic views.
