Devon boat trips - destinations

A boat trip on its own isn’t much good if you don’t have amazing coastal destinations to visit! Fortunately we are blessed with some stunning and historic locations along the South coast of Great Britain. “Lunasea” is based in Torquay marina, the heart of the English Riviera in Devon. A popular seaside resort since the Victorian era, it has remained one of the most popular holiday destinations with families ever since.

The English Riviera is also a UNESCO Global Geopark. One of only two “urban” Geoparks in the United Kingdom, Torbay was granted this status because of its natural environment and stunning geology.

So why not join us for an amazing boat trip in one of the best locations in the United Kingdom?
