SALCOMBE: THE PLACE FOR KEEL BOATING IN SOUTH DEVON
Membership of the ICC effectively gives you shared use of all the ICC operated boats in our fleet, which currently consists of four keelboats (two Solings, a Squib, and a Hawk 20 day-boat), and also includes a diesel motor launch, and a powerful RIB capable of taking up to 8 passengers.
OUR BOATS
Keelboats have a fixed keel and are the boats for you if you prefer to be in a boat that doesn’t capsize and is big enough to be safe for open-sea sailing close to Salcombe.
Our motor launch (Duncan) is the perfect boat for pottering around the estuary and heading up one of the creeks for a picnic, and with our offshore RIB you have fantastic family motor boat, capable of taking you safely offshore to explore the coast between the headlands of Prawle Point and Bolt Head.
