The coastal scenery, open ocean, sea spray, cormorants, gannets, seals and we were even lucky enough to see porpoise. Wildlife obviously can't be guaranteed but the trip is still very much worth it to see the coastline from the sea. The commentary was varied mentioning wildlife, geology, local buildings, history and not too dominating so you could still talk with your fellow passengers. This trip gets a huge thumbs up from me and if we return I would not hesitate to go again.
Access-
Right from the start the WeFerry team where friendly and accommodating. I use a wheelchair so always do some research and contact companies first. John the captain took time to answer my questions about accessibility and discuss the trips without judgement or hurry.
There is no getting away from the fact that boats are tricky to access and the movement of the waves makes standing a challenge. But the crew did everything they could to assist all passengers on and off. The walkway and jetty is step free. There are 3 good sturdy steps, up to the boat with a hand rail and 5 good sturdy 'stair case' style steps into the boat. They are steep but the crew are very willing and even asked how best to offer an arm, support me etc. They helped lift my transportable chair onto the boat. At no point were any of us rushed.
There is a RADAR key loo on the harbourside before you get to the boat.
Price - We both felt that the trip was under-priced and well worth more. We paid 12 for the two of us (concession tickets) for over an hours trip.
I had a really memorable time and am still buzzing from the trip. Thank you to all the crew. read less..

Highly recommend. read less..

We had booked on an earlier trip which had to be cancelled due to weather conditions - which we quite understood. We said we would try and book again but John very kindly texted us on the Wednesday morning to say the trip was running if we wanted to go. We hadn’t asked him to do this so it was a very nice touch. The commentary on the boat was very interesting and informative which showed John’s understanding and love of the sea and local knowledge. The boat was able to go very close to the shoreline - cliffs, caves and coves - and to observe the wildlife. I have been on several boat trips around Torbay but have never been on one as interesting as this. The customer service was excellent - he took the time with everyone to make sure they knew what they were doing when the boat reached Teignmouth and good directions to get the train and the subsequent boat from Paignton. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone. We are back here in May next year with our son and granddaughter and hope we will be able to make this trip again. Full marks to John and Adam on this trip. Excellent value for money too. read less..
