Group Bookings for Tour Operators & Group Organisers

Stuart Line Cruises would like to extend a very warm welcome to group organisers, tour operators and couriers. Whether you are looking to organise a school group, coach holiday excursion or group outing for your club, look no further than the South West’s premiere passenger boat company and allow us to share with you some fantastic excursion ideas, which are designed for groups of only 15 or more, with suggested itineraries at special discounted rates.

Stuart Line Cruises is an award-winning, family-run passenger boat company operating in the River Exe and along the East and South Devon coastlines, from the traditional seaside town of Exmouth, in Devon. Now running for over 50 years, we passionately believe that the River Exe and The Jurassic Coast are unrivalled in terms of history, beauty and wildlife and look forward to providing an unforgettable experience for your group.

The Stuart family hold many years of experience working alongside the group travel industry – we are proud members of the Coach Tourism Association and attend numerous group travel shows annually, enabling us to remain at the forefront of the group travel market and to successfully understand and meet industry demands and trends.

We offer flexible bookings and are able to schedule cruises for your group, to suit your group’s itinerary and needs. Please get in touch with us via the online enquiry form, for a personalised service and our recommendations.
