We are in this month's (April) issue of Devon Life!

We couldn't fit everyone in - but we tried!

And below in case you can't read it in the article are twelve ideas for getting out on the boat in North Devon (two extra on this page!) We timed it to celebrate ALL the boats getting ready to go back out on the water for Easter. Some commercial boats are already in - the rest of the Ilfracombe boats will be going 'over the harbour wall' this weekend -why not go along & watch - check out the harbour webcam to see when its happening.
So thinking now of all those skippers and crew busy painting and scrubbing. I too have been scrubbing the bilges -just taken a break because my fingers are frozen!! And remember if you want to book a boat trip out on the water in glorious North Devon - you can find write ups of many different boat trips, ideas and contact details on our boat trips page.The season for boats licensed to carry passengers opens again at the beginning of April.
