Location & water taxi

When you visit us at River Exe Cafe you will need to take the Puffin Water Taxi or arrive on your own boat. The Water Taxi departs from Exmouth Marina’s Visitors Pontoon outside The Point Bar, EX8 1XA. Your Water Taxi departure time will be given to you upon booking with us.

The Water Taxi is £5 per person return, which is payable in cash to the boatman. Please allow enough time to park your car and travel to the Marina to catch the Water Taxi. Your booking duration, from leaving the Marina to your return (including the Water Taxi journey) is approximately 3 hours. This time may be slightly subject to change depending on the tides at the time of your journey. Please ensure you have arranged sufficient parking time to cover possible delays.

There is limited on-road parking around the Marina. There is a new Car Park on the Marina itself EX8 1DU. If the option is the Car Park at the end of Camperdown Terrace EX8 1EJ this is a 5-minute walk to the Water Taxi departure point. Alternatively, there is a car park at Exmouth Leisure Centre, EX8 1EN. This is a 15-minute walk to the Water Taxi. When parking your car, please allow ample time to enjoy your visit to us.

about us

“floating heaven”

A boat trip to a wonderful floating restaurant is an absolute treat. The fresh fish menu is superb and the staff always friendly. I have been three times and will go again.
“Phenomenal views, phenomenal food”

An absolute treat! My family and I took the water taxi from Exmouth marina to the restaurant which in itself was a lovely trip. All food and drink is locally sourced and freshly cooked on site. The food was fabulous (I had crab whilst my family all had fish and chips) and the views spectacular
“Amazing Venue . . . Amazing Food”

I visited this floating restaurant for a second time and the experience was just as good as the first. Very easy booking experience, very professional staff and wonderful food. Compliments to the Chef. I can't wait to visit again next season. I have even bought my Devon family vouchers for Christmas. Thank you River Exe Staff.
