Guided Birdwatching Cruises

Discover why this stunning area is a Winter haven for thousands of migrating birds!

Our Guided Birdwatching Cruises are ideal for anyone who would like to see the many thousands of birds that migrate to the area during the Autumn and Winter months.

Suitable for beginners and beneficial to experts these cruises have a full commentary throughout from ornithologists Ian Waite, Dave Smallshire and Derek Carter.

You will discover and learn all about the species, habitat and behaviours of the thousands of birds on the Exe Estuary and East Devon Coast.

The award-winning Chunk of Devon pasties – both steak and vegetarian – are available to pre-order and the hot and super tasty Rod & Bens organic soup is available on board.

Our boats have fully licenced bars on board serving a range of local ales and gin, alongside a choice of hot and cold refreshments and snacks.  Maintaining their traditional features, our boats are also modern, exceptionally clean and well maintained and toilets are also on each vessel.  We have indoor heated lower decks with huge windows for great all-weather viewing and spacious outdoor upper decks for big breaths of fresh air.

Please note that due to the length and nature of these cruises, we do not recommend them for young children.

Sailing times vary from November through to March – booking is strongly advised
