About Salcombe

Why boat in Salcombe?

A combination of natural geography, the best of the English climate and a warm welcome has helped to make Salcombe one of the UK's favourite boating locations.

On the southernmost tip of Devon, Salcombe Harbour is a natural, sheltered arena that's a dream for watersports fans. It's also tidal and the perfect training ground for improving your skills in safety.

Other parts are ideal for more advanced boaters, with tricky navigable creeks, numerous pontoons, and enough water traffic to test everyone's nautical highway code.

The Salcombe coastline is as beautiful as it is rugged. Perfect for passages and cruising, its many small anchorages and harbour entrances great places for a number of exercises. And the challenging, confused sea conditions at 'Start Point' will test the most experienced boaters, as they head towards Dartmouth. Plymouth Sound and port are both within easy reach and well worth a visit.
