The "Retreat Boat" Charter works as follows:

For those thinking about a weekend break or even a longer trip maybe the whole week, you can charter our boats as "The Retreat Boat" This means we will skipper the boat when you want us to, and take you on a trip of your choice, weather permitting and we then moor your party up overnight and leave you alone for the night secure on a mooring buoy or in a marina whichever you prefer. You will have full use of our tender, whilst moored up, for trips ashore. (boat handling experience is essential for use of the tender).
We provide a welcome food pack on arrival of some essentials. (Eggs, bacon, cheese, milk, bread, butter, condiments, tea, coffee etc). All linen/towels are provided.

Depending on which vessel you choose a typical trip could be:
Pick up Dartmouth leisurely trip to Salcombe Harbour, if a nice day, maybe anchor off one of the beaches for a picnic and swimming along the way, moor onto a mooring buoy for the night, dinner in Salcombe Town, breakfast on board and a tour of Plymouth Sound during the day, moor up overnight in the River Yealm, back to Dartmouth with dinner in one of Dartmouth’s renowned restaurants/or a romantic dinner on board, moored up in a marina, or on a mooring buoy for the night, with a final tour of the River Dart.
This makes an excellent romantic break/honeymoon treat, or a great family holiday, if you introduce some crabbing and mackerel fishing.

Corporate Entertainment
Let us take your team out for a day to remember, let them build a good working relationship whilst helming our Fairline Flybridge motor cruiser on the lovely Devon coast, whether it’s negotiating the sand bar going into Salcombe or enjoying a fully catered lunch/evening meal. We also have very comfortable overnight accommodation aboard.
Our motor cruiser is fully fitted with all means of luxuries, from cappuccino machines, to showers, fridges, TV/DVD, and not forgetting a full range of navigational equipment.
Either combine a trip on the motor cruiser with a trip on our very fast zodiac rib or just book our rib and enjoy speeds in excess of 30+ knots - a very different and thrilling experience. Learn about high speed manoeuvres, or handling the boat in slightly rougher conditions.
