Situated between the rivers Plym and Tamar on the coast of Devon, the city of Plymouth has everything you could want from a British seaside holiday – the spectacular natural Harbour of Plymouth Sound, the majestic beaches of Whitesand and Bigbury Bays, Dartmoor National Park to the north, a wealth of heritage and cultural centres and some of the finest wining, dining and entertainment the UK has to offer.
Plymouth has long been a favourite with sailing and boating enthusiasts as the area has much to offer. Explore the stunning coastlines of Devon and Cornwall or venture inland along the lovely Rivers Yealm or Tamar and discover places of breathtaking natural beauty. To compliment Plymouth’s love affair with all things seafaring, there is the Barbican Maritime Village, a positively cosmopolitan area literally steeped in maritime history where the ghosts of Drake and Raleigh walk cobbled streets flanked with cafes, bars, restaurants, galleries and specialist craft shops.
The city centre is a thriving, bustling place with world-class shopping centre, traditional pubs, gourmet restaurants, fish bars, specialist markets and cafes. Visit the awesome Drake Circus centre with its forty-eight shops and restaurants or the ever-popular pannier market with one hundred plus stalls and famous farmers market. There are two excellent theatres – the Royal Theatre, with its programme of West End previews, and Plymouth Pavilions for variety shows, comedians and concerts. For those in search of nightlife there are the casinos, multiplex cinemas and countless bars and clubs that stay open well into the early hours.
For a more peaceful day or evening why not head over to Saltash. The yacht club there can normally provide a mooring, you can contact them on 01752 845988, or just simply cross the Tamar Bridge to get there. Once there you must go and relax in the "Just Be" Coffe and Wine Bar. There you can sit and look out on the water watching the world go by.
So whatever it is you want from your holiday, relaxation, hospitality, excitement, entertainment or surprises Plymouth has everything and much more.
WEEKEND TRIPS
The picturesque villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo lie on each side of the secluded Yealm River. A couple of pubs (the Swan and the Ship are in Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers is home to the Dolphin.) There is also the welcoming Yealm Yacht Club, a few Shops and the Post Office are located in Newton Ferrers. The Harbour Office and showers are located at the bottom of the Yealm Steps at the inner end of the main dinghy pontoon. At the outer end of this pontoon is a water supply.
There are three visitors swinging moorings. The first is located between Misery Point and Warren Point and will take a 60' / 25 ton displacement boat. There are 2 more swinging moorings on the south side of the channel opposite the Spit Bouy which can take up to three yachts each. There is a Visitor's pontoon in the Pool which can take around twenty yachts and a further Visitor's pontoon upstream off West Shore which provides about twenty berths. A two knot tide can run at various states of tide so some care should be taken when mooring.
Anchorages can be found in the entrance to the river and at Cellar Bay. The River Yealm can become busy at weekends in the high season. On these occasions when the visitor's moorings are full it is possible to pick up an empty private mooring but his is at your own risk and you must seek approval from the Harbour Master before you leave your boat. The Harbour Master and his staff are on the river from early in the morning to late in the evening fro April to October. The Harbour Master can be contacted by telephone on 01752 872533

Weir Quay Boatyard, just up the Tamar from Plymouth, has a haul out and re-launch offer. They are happy for you to work on your boat and also have engineers/shipwrights on hand if you need help. Great place. Worth checking out.

HI Ray
Our charts are accurate as they are reproduced UKHO charts. We have a licence agreement with them to feature them on our site. Our agreement stipulates though that we have to put a disclaimer on them. This is for legal reasons, and must be adhered to.
Hope this clears a few things up for you, and carry on using the site
Thanks

How accurate are your charts on your guides? Each one has a disclaimer on them. If they are accurate why do this? I use your site for all sorts of information,as it covers all the things I need when visiting a marina, but not sure about the charts. Can someone explain?

Wow, just stumbled accross your site whilst searching for marinas Plymouth, would just like to say what a great idea.

Try Huggins Marine. Up at Carbeile Wharf. Very much a working enviroment....good facilities, and not too costly!

Coming into Plymouth end of August for repairs(prop and rudder) will probably antifoul at same time.Whats the best boatyard/marina to use,I would like to do most of the work myself and pay for the facilities(lift in and out electric parts etc).We are open to suggestions.
Land lady friendly, meals were awful very dry and warm had a man virtually sat on my lap who should have been socially distancing so we moved to another table on which one man asked us why we moved and laughed when i told him, we told the landlady who said nothing to the men who were smerking at us. Won't be going back.
I recently used the services of Optimum Marine to carry out a survey of my vessel. Oli Byles carried out the survey and I found the service professional, informative and courteous. I would recommend this company. John Heale
I have been to the shop twice now. It is a lovely place and the staff in there are really amazing and helpfull. I would recommend it to anyone, local or not, just pop in and enjoy,
I will be going back on a regular basis
We made the trip across the bridge and so glad we did. A completely different feel, a lot more relaxed. Just Be certainly let us Just Be. Great relaxing place and much more than a cafe.
Just got back from an amazing week with this fantastic sailing school. They saved the day when we were let down by another sailing school at the last minute and sorted a great boat and a really good instructor to run the course for us ( I was doing Coastal Skipper, the others were doing Competent Crew.) They ran the course for us and gave us an amazing time. We all learnt loads- definitely worth learning properly in Uk tidal waters, and clearly these are the guys to do it with. Friendly, professional and with a can do attitude. Don't book with anyone else.

Great location, right in the centre, big spacious hotel with restaurant. Stayed here some years ago and it was getting a bit tired, returned recently and was delighted to find that it has undergone a facelift. Great improvement.
Unusual in a good way. Very quaint. Best to visit on a sunny day, but be warned, you may not want to leave in a hurry. We found it very relaxing. Food good too!
What a lovely place. We just sat back and relaxed. Get a table by the window and watch all the boats passing by. Very hypnotic and such a great change from all the hustle and bustle of the city.
Just trying out some of the restaurants on your guide, gotta say this is a great find. We both love Thai food, as we have travelled there extensively. This is as close to being there as it comes.
Tried contacting this company with no response. tried calling and they were rude, claiming they had nothing to do with BAL Marine. Are the numbers correct on your website??
Stumbled across this place and the Hidden Olive on Harbourguides, both great places to eat. Having visited Thailand many times we find it difficult to find a restaurant that really represents the true taste of this beautiful country. Well Suphas does just this. The taste and the aroma of the food took us back thousands of miles away back to Asia.
Top class!
Just found this quaint little place on harbourguides and what a good find. Its something completely different and youcan watch all the sailing activities from the window.
Great place to relax and watch the world go round.
Great wines too.
Stayed here a few years ago, and its just brought back memories of when we were waiting to crew on a delivery yacht going to the Med. I was surprised to learn that it is actually a family run hotel. A large one. Would deffinitely stay again.
Got engaged here a good few years ago. came to see my uncle on his boat but decided to stay in hotel rather than his boat and met my future husband. Just stumbled across your website and it has brought back a lot of happy memories.
Think we might return for our next anniversary.

This is a very friendly and historic pub situated about 5 minutes walk from the Barbican in Plymouth. It is only small and can get very busy at the weekend with live music. It has a friendly cosy atmosphere and there is a small rear room if you want to sit in a quieter spot.
There is a quiz on a Monday, Karaoke 1st Wednesday of the month and a jamming session on a Thursday.
My favourite is on a Sunday tea time when J D & Coke are on.
Diagnosed the engine fault within minutes and we were back out to enjoy the sea that afternoon all fixed up. Thankyou again for a quality service. Already recommended through our marina. Best of luck for the future.

Plymouth's most individual Hotel - a perfect combination of traditional and contemporary chic.
This famous Victorian gothic hotel built in 1863 has remained a focal point of Plymouth's landscape. The Duke of Cornwall was built by a group of railway company directors to cater for travellers to the region both by rail and sea. The passengers disembarked from the ocean liners arriving from New York in the great western docks at Millbay, and the imposing tower which can still be seen today above the modern buildings still remains a constant point of interest for inquisitive guests who are keen to find out the reason for the towers existence and it's original purpose. It seems that it was purely built for decoration, although the porters would often run up to the tower to see the liners arriving in the port and would then go and greet the passengers and escort them to their accommodation.
The city's Millbay railway station stood directly opposite the hotel where Plymouth Pavilions now stands.
Most of the places of interest listed in the hotel's
original brochure still exist today such as, Plymouth Hoe and the Barbican, Dartmoor National Park, Burrator Reservoir, Eddystone Lighthouse, Mount Edgecombe Park and the Dockyard.
The Duke of Cornwall continues to provide the very best of service in it's own timeless and unique style. Now a thriving city centre hotel ideally located for exploring Plymouth Hoe and the surrounding areas. The hotel boasts 72 unique interior designed bedrooms with private en-suite luxury bathrooms.
Our Blue Ribband 2 and AA rosette restaurant serves the finest of contemporary cuisine to be found in the city.
We specialise in weddings and functions in our grand ballroom and six other exquisite fully equipped conference and banqueting suites.
The luxury character of Plymouth's most prestigious hotel makes the larger conference, small meeting and special celebration an occasion of great style.
Our team of dedicated staff welcome our guests to stay in comfort at The Duke of Cornwall Hotel
