​
Join us aboard the SNARK, our beautiful 110 ft long sailing ship, for a truly memorable experience.
Whether it’s for a summer holiday sailing around the coasts Britain and the Continent or a winter evening meal snug in Exeter Docks our objectives remain the same; to provide a place for you to escape from the humdrum, to meet new people, to enjoy new experiences but most of all to relax and reflect, to recharge and restore and to leave ready to face the world.
​
Snark is a family run business, our ‘summer sailings’ and ‘winter dining’, have the same ethos; it's personal and comfortable, lagom not deluxe, sociable not elite, sustainable travel not extravagant.
