What to Expect
Departing from Ilfracombe Harbour, we head east past Hele Bay and around Hillsborough, before continuing along the coastline past Sampson’s Coves and Watermouth Harbour, where you’ll get a great view of the impressive Watermouth Castle from the sea.
From here, we travel on to Broad Sands, a hidden gem only fully appreciated from the water, before continuing into Combe Martin Bay. The highlight of the trip is reaching the historic Smugglers Caves, steeped in local history and stories of the past.
We then continue further along the coastline towards the dramatic cliffs marking the start of the Hangman Hills and Exmoor National Park, offering incredible views you simply can’t experience from land.
Wildlife & Scenery
Along the way, we often encounter:
- Porpoise

What Should I Bring on the Trip?
- Waterproof/Windproof Clothing – no matter the temperature is when we’re on land, it gets chillier out at sea. We recommend that you bring an extra layer!
- Camera or Phone – you will no doubt want to document your trip and ensure you have a record of the wildlife and sights that you see, so we would recommend bringing your phone or camera along. We must note that these are brought on at your own risk as we do not offer cover for any devices damaged or lost on our trips, although thanks to our smooth sailing skipper, this is rarely a problem!
- Sunglasses – not only will the sunglasses protect you from the rays, but if you have polarised lenses it reduces the sun’s reflection which will allow you to see into the water more clearly.
- Sun cream – it is a must! You may not feel the heat when you are zooming along, but we promise, it will still catch you
- But as with all our suggestions (except the sun cream) it is completely your choice!
