DINING WITH A DIFFERENCE
River Exe Cafe usually opens from 1st April until the 30th September this year. It is a custom built barge that floats well off shore in the Exe Estuary. The Restaurant offers a wide range of locally-sourced food and is surrounded by amazing views.
River Exe Cafe can only be accessed by boat, either a Puffin Water Taxi from Exmouth Marina, or on your own boat.

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.
