We also provide a range of services including visitor moorings on the estuary and canal, boat storage facilities and mooring servicing. Encompassing the Exe Estuary, Exeter Canal and Quay
From the shoreline of Exmouth to Exeter’s historic canal and quay we welcome all watersports users and visitors who wish to enjoy one of the most beautiful and vibrant waterways in the South West of England. The
Exe Estuary extends for some 12 kilometres and plays host to an active boating and watersports community as well as being recognised as being of international importance to wildlife. The Harbour Master staff work in partnership with Estuary users to help ensure that everyone can enjoy the water safely. A warm welcome awaits you if you want to visit for an afternoon or moor a boat with us year-round. For visiting yachtsmen, sail the oldest working shipping canal in Europe, first opened to shipping in 1566 and the first canal to be built in Britain since Roman times. Enter the historic canal through Turf Lock and journey peacefully through 8 km of manmade waterway, enjoying stunning views and a variety of wildlife.
