ROUND ROBIN

DARTMOUTH RAILWAY AND RIVERBOAT COMPANY

April 8, 2023

This long established company runs a wide range of hugely popular boat trips and excursions around the Bay and in nearby Dartmouth. Their cruises often include an exciting journey on the steam train and you can jump aboard the best-selling Round Robin, which includes boat, steam train and bus for a very special day out.

You can also enjoy a Dartmouth Day Cruise from Torquay or Brixham giving you time to browse the shops, restaurants and cafes before returning in the afternoon. Their Dartmouth River Cruise gives splendid views of picturesque Bayards Cove, Kingswear and Dartmouth Castles, the famous Britannia Royal Naval College, Dittisham village, Sir Walter Raleigh’s boathouse and Agatha Christie’s Greenway.

There are also regular 90-minute (each way) scenic river cruises from Dartmouth to Totnes along the stunning River Dart, passing the Naval College, Greenway Quay, the riverside villages of Stoke Gabriel and Dittisham, and the Sharpham Estate with its vineyards. A fascinating commentary accompanies the trips and you’ll see lots of wildlife, which could include seals, herons, egrets, buzzards and much more. There’s a choice between the regular riverboat and the historic Paddle Steamer on the Dartmouth to Totnes route – you can do one each way! Dogs are welcome on all the trips.
