We are in this month's (April) issue of Devon Life! A three page spread with some lovely images, a quick rundown of all the films so far and our wonderful contributors - a confession that it wasn't all plain sailing - and ten ideas to get out on a boat in North Devon. 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.

Jo’s twelve ideas for getting out on a boat in North Devon.
  1. Catch MS Oldenburg for a ferry trip to Lundy – look out for the first seabirds arriving to breed

  2. Pretend to be a lobster potter for the day in the Silver Spirit

  3. Potter gently up the river Torridge in the Cheeky Monkey or the Fender

  4. Find the highest cliffs in England & old iron ore mines on the Ilfracombe Princess

  5. Hop on the Appledore & Instow ferry to cross the estuary.

  6. Dive the wrecks or England’s first marine reserve, off Lundy, with Obsession

  7. Tour round Clovelly harbour in Neptune

  8. Ride in the restored lifeboat, Hampshire Rose, out of Ilfracombe

  9. Attempt sea kayaking and look out for Dave the Dolphin.

  10. Hit the secret, offshore surf beaks with the catamaran, Hecate

  11. Explore Lynmouth’s cliffs & gorges from the Balaena

  12. Swim with seals near Lundy, from the Jessica Hettie.

And of course you can watch our films!
