Cashless Service

Torbay Harbour Authority and Beaches are transitioning to a cashless service across all offices, quaysides, and beaches. This will cover, among other things, visitor charges, launch and recovery, electric, and short-term beach hut hires.

This change will apply from Monday 14th April. Our goal is to streamline operations, improve the safety of our staff and the service efficiency.

Thank you for your understanding.

Tor Bay Harbour

Back to Events

An increasing number of Cruise Ships now feature Tor Bay in their cruising itinerary. The English Riviera has so much to offer the passing tourist and Torquay is strategically placed for various cruises - Round Britain, Trans-Atlantic and European positioning, 100 nautical miles from Southampton and 200 nautical miles from Dover.

Ships generally anchor approximately ½ mile South West of Torquay Harbour, with tenders landing at Torquay. Passengers disembark on Beacon Quay or Haldon Pier and can sample the delights of local shops and cafes or opt for range of interesting coach excursion options.

Golden Horizon attracts like-minded adventure seekers for a sailing experience which allows guests to connect with the elements of the natural world.

The ambience on board is relaxed, casual, elegant and without unnecessary formality. They have created an environment which encourages guests to return to time and time again.

All 140 cabins are outside facing, so guests can enjoy the breath-taking views. Cabins evoke the luxury and facilities expected of a boutique cruise ship, whilst retaining charm, adventure and romance of a truly historic sailing vessel.

The Golden Horizon will sail to Cowes on the Isle of Wight, home to the famous sailing regatta, they'll then sail to the seaside town of Torquay in the English Riviera (on the 17th July from 8am-18:00pm) where guests can admire the busy harbour and spectacular coastline before returning to Dover.
