Torquay Marina is in the north-east corner of Torbay and sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly winds, so it’s a safe haven for boats in all weathers. With modern facilities and superb bluewater cruising, it's popular with yachtsmen from home and overseas.
There are numerous contractors offering services on site, as well as a boat brokerage and new boat sales. Alongside jet ski rides, recent additions to the marina include a coastal RIB 'seafari', a high speed RIB ride aboard Raptor and an online RYA training school. There is the on-site Otto Torquay bar and restaurant in the heart of the marina, plus a host of fabulous restaurants located around the harbour serving delicious contemporary cuisine.
Dolphin Boatyard
Tucked away at the head of Galmpton Creek, Dolphin Boatyard lies some three miles upriver from Dartmouth. The 7-acre dry boat storage area has space for over 300 boats and is serviced by a 65-ton hoist, one of the largest in the area, which operates from a purpose-built dock. There is also a 16-ton trailer hoist operating on a slipway.
Pump Out Facilities
The Green Blue has developed an online map to show which marinas, boatyards and harbours provide environmental facilities such as pump out, black water/Elsan disposal, recycling, freshwater refill points, hazardous waste disposal and filtered/bunded boat washdown. Click here for the location map.
Out and About
There are numerous beautiful anchorages around the surrounding coastline, but please refer to this document that outlines where not to anchor due to seagrass beds. Heading south brings you to the picturesque fishing village of Brixham, where we also have a marina, and where there are many fine restaurants.
Head further west and explore the sheltered River Dart. Beyond Start Point is the beautiful Salcombe Estuary with spectacular 400 foot cliffs at Bolt Head. The marina is also conveniently situated for crossing the Channel to Brittany, Normandy and the Channel Islands, ideal for a weekend away.
