Devon is one of the UK's leading sailing destinations. Whether in search of a water-based half-term break for the family, the opportunity to charter a yacht or hire a dingy there are few locations that rival Devon for shear choice and stunning locations.

From half-day to week-long courses there are training programmes and tuition available for all ages and abilities. Plymouth, Torquay and Dartmouth offer marinas and a full range of services for visiting yachts and boats, whilst the secluded Yealm and Salcombe estuaries are wonderful quiet hideaways with plenty of visitor moorings.

Devon has a rich and varied maritime past and this is celebrated in style throughout the year with a variety of regattas and events. Search below for harbours, beaches, courses, events, hire and shops
