With boat trips sailing the coast around Exeter, Exmouth, Torquay and Sidmouth, we give hundreds of thousands of happy passengers the chance to see the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, cruise the beautiful River Exe or visit a picture-postcard South Devon town. Stuart Line Cruises has remained a family business with three boats operating year-round in our distinctive bright colours. We are a daily fixture on the water and have literally become part of the stunning scenery that we are blessed with.

  • Custom House

    The Custom House was constructed in 1680-1 by the Exeter Chamber, extended in 1791 and again in the early 19thcentury. It is a Grade I listed building of both local and national importance. It is one of the earliest examples of a purpose built brick customs house in the country and has some fine plasterwork ceilings. Its situation, just outside the city wall at the head of the navigable section of the River Exe, gives it a commanding view and it is probably only second to Exeter Cathedral in popularity with visitors and photographers to the city.

  • Exeter's Antiques Centre

    The Antiques Centre has been located in its present home since 1986. The building, opposite the Customs House on what was the Exeter fish quay, has had many uses in the past having been, variously, a customs transit shed, a fish market and a greengrocers store. Since the Antiques Centre opened, various internal improvements have gradually been made to realise a relaxed, warm and comfortable environment where customers can browse and buy at their own pace.

    Opening hours; Open seven days a week. 10am to 5pm in winter extending to 5.30pm from Easter through to September. Riverside cafe facilities within the building and outside seating with river views.
