Brixham Marina

(0 votes, average 0 out of 5)

Brixham Marina

Brixham Marina is situated in the heart of this picturesque old Devon town. Sheltered from the south-westerly winds and offering safe access in all weathers and at all states of the tide, the 500 berth marina is always busy, especially in summer when many cruising rallies and boating events take place.

There is a wide range of marine tenants on site including a yacht and powerboat brokerage, yacht charter and a sea school. Basic provisions and diesel are available and there is a bar and restaurant, ideal for when you've worked up an appetite out on the water and fancy a relaxing drink with friends.

Torbay itself has several beautiful anchorages and there are many fine restaurants to visit both in Brixham and Torbay across the bay, where we also have a marina. To the west is the River Dart and further on, the spectacular Cornish coastline featuring the cruising grounds of Fowey, the Fal Estuary and the Helford River.

Head east and visit Babbacombe Bay, the Teign Estuary and the River Exe. For the more adventurous, a cruise across to the Channel Islands is a popular weekend trip.

Dartside Quay Marine Service Centre

Brixham Marina is just six miles away from Dartside Quay Marine Service Centre, where we offer extensive maintenance facilities for boat owners. Dartside Quay’s location provides access to superb cruising both up the River Dart and along the scenic West Coast. For those keen to venture further, the Channel Islands and the North Brittany coast are ideal for a weekend away.
