​
Join us aboard the SNARK, a 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 meal snug on the Exeter canal,
The SNARK is a place 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.
​
As a family run business, our ‘summer sailings’ and ‘winter dining’ share the same ethos;
it's personal and comfortable,
lagom,
sociable and sustainable.

What our guests say
​
A very refreshing experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. A lot of the individual event’s success depends on the mix of people, and on my second visit, this worked extremely well. The time just flew by! The food on both occasions was excellent, and I particularly enjoyed the authentic Chinese cuisine. Paul and Qiao are excellent hosts. Their primary focus has to be on the cooking and serving of food, but they are still able to interact with guests.'
