Salmon fishing on the Exe!
What a beautiful sight🙌🐟
Well, that's a wrap folks - a very busy but wonderful week, meeting lots of lovely passengers both old and new!
We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge welcome to the lovely Lucy who has just joined the Stuart Line madness. Seafront booking office manager, part-time crew and marketing expert. You are fabulous, always smiling and we would like you to stay 😊❤️
Ps. This is pretty much Lucy's facial expression about 90% of the time!
And the glorious British Summer returns! 🙌🏻😍
Countess Wear! As far as we can possibly travel along the navigable length of the River Exe. What a treat! 🌅
Let us take you along the South Devon coastline and into the heart of Teignmouth for you to disembark and enjoy the Carnival festivities and the procession through the town!
On the return journey you will then have simply the best view of the firework display from the water!
What an amazing way to arrive and enjoy one of the best carnivals in South Devon!
Come onboard with the best Pirate Rock band in the South West on Saturday 4 August
Leaving at 7.30pm from Exmouth Marina we will cruise around the bay to the sounds of most energetic and lively pirate rock music to be heard!
Playing either outside on the upper deck under the stars or covered on our main deck - this will be one of the highlights of our Band Nights this year!
... With a fully stocked bar on board including a range of local ales - this is an awesome way to mix up your live music scene!

...Just couldn't resist a second post this evening of our stunning sunset! What a treat to end our cruise with the Caravanclub.co.uk - congratulations and a huge thank you to Chris Coles who has been organising this annual event for 22 years running! We think it's fair to say that you have completed your final duty as organiser on a really lovely note! 🌅
A beautiful evening witb both of pur largest vessels out on the Exe Estuary, with private charter 🌅
| 🌿🐚Wow, what a FANTASTIC day, exploring some less familiar sections of the Jurassic Coast🐚🌿 |
We set sail at 07:00 from Exmouth and arrived in Lyme Regis by 10:30, in time for our first Jurassic Coast Cruise, which travelled East-bound to Chesil Beach. Our second cruise departed Lyme Regis at 14:00 and travelled West-bound as far as Branscombe.
Huge thanks to our organisers from the National Trust and to our three knowledgable speakers, who delivered a very informative and... geologically fascinating commentary about these diverse sections of England's only natural World Heritage Site.
Hope to see you all again next year!

A little before and after shot from one of our 7 speed boat rides today - I think it's fair to say they cooled off pretty well and had plenty of fun! 😆😍
Charity Band Night - featuring the Bail Jumpers and a fantastic sunset!
Come on boys, it's coming home! 🏴 🍻
What a great afternoon, spent on the sea and river Exe. Yesterday’s weather was perfect not too hot and not too cold. We came home with red faces from the wind and sun. Informative and friendly. A bargain trip.
What a fantastic time. Five-star review for all of the cruises and have been on most of them
What a fantastic experience both for kids and adults would highly recommend it either for party’s ,fun days out or even a conference and thanks for all your help Izak
What a fantastic day out on the Pirate Cruise. I am a local and have to say how impressed I was at how well organised this trip was. Boat very clean, including the toilets, everybody friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the bar prices extremely reasonable. Would thoroughly recommend
We sailed with Santa yesterday with our 4&2yo children and we had a fantastic time! The staff were really friendly (without being overwhelming for small children) & were working hard to keep us all in mulled wine, (warm) mince pies, squash and biscuits as well as face painting and balloon modelling for the kids. They never felt like they were 'waiting' for long and the grotto was very well laid out- enough space for us all to have a chat with the man himself! The gifts were of excellent quality (we were pleasantly surprised) and we can't get over how much was on offer for the price! Such good value. Thank you for a festive afternoon. We loved it!
We had a lovely experience with the kids, booking the Exe river cruise. Everybody on board was very friendly, informative and organised. Lovely trip for kids as it’s not too long, coffee and tea very reasonably priced and overall a great activity for the half term and good value for money.
We come to Exmouth on holiday each year and we book this every time it’s so informative and relaxing well worth a visit xx
Was a fantastic journey with information along the way. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Couldn't have asked for more. Having the bar open was an unexpected pleasure, was not expensive and we didn't have to drink out of plastic beakers which was great. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.
To start I confess I have a bias... I love SLC.
I’m a frequent visitor to Exmouth and always book one of their trips. They are great value for money, and the crew could not be more helpful. I’m already booked for my next visit in August.
Please, if you want a different view of the amazing Devon coast view it from Stewart Line. You won’t be sorry ⛴😎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Stuart line cruises for a brilliant Mother’s Day cruise yesterday, the boat was clean and tidy and the staff were so friendly and helpful, myself and my parents really enjoyed it and will be back to sail with you soon
Thank you Stuart Line Cruises for a fantastic Santa Cruise! Despite the very high winds it was brilliant and the extra touches were amazing. The grotto was so well done, the presents extremely good, the ballon animals, the face painting and Punch and Judy show a fantastic touch. Oh and the mulled wine and mince pies weren’t half bad!! �
Happy Christmas to you all ��x
Love all your trips but last night's fizz and chips was just glorious �
Had an absolutely fantastic evening celebrating sue’s birthday last night . Couldn’t fault it . Lovely staff and food was fab . Never done this before, but can’t wait to do it again .
Had a lovely time last night on a hen party. Staff were all lovely bbq was delicious bar prices reasonable and I didn’t feel sea sick so will be booking to go out again. Thank you for a fantastic evening.
Great value trip with Santa. The grotto was great. Not mentioning Punch and Judy, face painting , balloon animals and refreshments were great too. The kids loved steering the boat too. Friendly staff and fun had by all.
Another fantastic annual Santa cruise. My 4 year old niece joined us for the first time and she was absolutely mesmerised. The whole trip from start to finish is brilliant. My 12 year old daughter is always completely blown away by the card tricks of the balloon man/entertainer. We have done many of your cruises from the Ploughman's to the airshow and Jurassic coast cruises and the canal cruise to Exeter, all absolutely brilliant. Well done to all the crew x
A big thank you to Ian (rib boat trips) who came to our rescue when we had problems with our boat engine just off of Exmouth beach yesterday. The tide was going out with the current making us feel like we were in reverse, but he gave us a tow until we were able to start up again. A gentleman.
We went on the Day trip to Torquay and Brixham. Sat on the top where the seats are metal with a blanket on them for padding!! Not comfortable enough for a 3 hour trip. Plus it became very windy the further out to sea we went. Downstairs however was alot nicer, with plastic chairs, good view from Windows, staff very pleasant. Wouldn't do the day trip again as too long a trip for me but would definitely go on another shorter trip with them.
We went yesterday on a cruise up the estuary. Staff were very nice and polite. As a suggestion we were going up the estuary and would have welcomed more cometary as there were large spells with little or no commentary. It was a quiet day with not much going on so needed more help IMO.
Metal seats were cold in December so take more padding.
Also we were told we'd get back about 4 from a 2:15 sailing. We left a little late and got back 15 - 20 minutes early. I guess there was no real tide or weather to fight.
Not to take away from pleasentness of crew though. Thanks.
