Overview

Mobile ticket
Join us for a fantastic coastal tour and explore of the bay.
You will arrive at our vibrant hub and we will get kitted up and safety briefed.
The excitement then begins to build as you are taken onboard one of our boats (dependant on the activity booked). Whether it's an exhilarating RIB Ride, a leisurely coastal tour or private and exclusive charter.
The tour starts in MDL Marina where we make our way past the many expensive and exclusive motor yachts - once out of the marina we are in open seas.
We hug the stunning coastline which is rich in geology and wildlife and is what makes the English Riviera so unique.
We then look for our resident pod of dolphins, keep an eye out for seals basking on the rocks and explore the many secluded cove and caves.
It really is an experience that will not be forgotten.

5.00We went for a late afternoon tour with Tim at the helm. The ride out was exhilarating and the views in the afternoon sun were spectacular. We were provided with an informative commentary throughout our tour. A great soundtrack made the whole experience a not to be missed thrill.

5.00Fantastic experience and highly recommended to anyone of any age. The guide/driver (Greg?) was very well informed and had an easy going but professional manner. We soon made our way directly to where the dolphins were feeding at Berry Head and got some excellent photos close up. Magical and easily beats the alternative of taking a normal boat which would have taken much longer and may not have seen dolphins at all.
Fabulous

5.00John took us out on a one hour trip around Torbay and we loved it !! He was really informative and friendly and made us all feel relaxed. The icing on the cake, we got to see a great show put on by the Dolphins.

5.00Amazing trip! Despite grey & drizzly weather we had a fab time. Skipper Greg took us from the marina, to Paignton and on to Berryhead where we watched dolphins playing. Beautiful to see our GCs (15, 11 and 9) scanning the water for dolphins, learning about sea life & having fun in the rib. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, even if it’s not a sunny day.
The perfect tour that made our break away

5.00From the booking to the trip, everything was perfect. It was suggested we go early morning and to book for the following day. The tour itself was informative and fun for the kids Did we get to see dolphins… a whole pod. It was a lucky trip and we are so glad we listened to them. Do not hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed.
excellent
