ABOUT

Coastal Drift Charters

Coastal Drift Charters offers luxury private boating experiences designed to help visitors experience the South West from a completely different perspective. From calm harbour cruises and hidden beach stop-offs to sunset evenings on the water, every trip is built around slowing down and enjoying the coastline properly. With a modern private boat, experienced local skipper, and tailored routes depending on weather and group preferences, Coastal Drift creates a relaxed but premium experience perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking to escape the crowds and explore the coast in style.

What makes your business or experience unique within the South West?

We focus on relaxed, private experiences rather than crowded commercial tours. Every trip is tailored around the conditions, the group, and the type of day people want to have on the water.

What kind of experience do you hope visitors leave with after spending time with you?

We want guests to completely switch off. The experience is calm, friendly, and unhurried, whether that’s enjoying a quiet sunset cruise or spending the afternoon exploring hidden coves and coastal villages.

Is there anything about your space, setting or approach that people particularly remember?

Most people remember how peaceful it feels being out on the water away from busy beaches and towns. Seeing the coastline from the sea completely changes the experience.

If someone was visiting for the first time, what would you recommend they experience most?

Our sunset coastal cruise is usually the perfect introduction. It combines relaxed cruising, incredible views, and a completely different perspective of the South West coastline as the evening light comes in.
