Boats built for adventure

We know what makes a day on the sea matter.

Built on respect for the sea

Teign Boat Hire began with a simple idea: give people the chance to experience these waters as we do. We’ve spent years learning every current, every shallow, every safe passage along the Devon coast. That knowledge matters.

80 years of experience

Teign Boat Hire has been part of the local waterfront for over 80 years, helping people get out on the water and enjoy this stretch of coast. Based in Teignmouth, we’ve spent generations getting to know the river, the estuary, and the surrounding coastline, and that local knowledge is at the heart of what we do.

Over the years, the business has grown steadily while keeping the same straightforward approach. Today, we run a fleet of well-maintained, fully licensed boats, offering a simple and reliable way for people to explore the area for themselves.

We’re proud to continue that tradition as a small, family-run business, focused on keeping things safe, accessible, and easy, while giving more people the chance to experience Teignmouth and Shaldon from the water.
