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.

“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
