Without your custom, your feedback and your interest in Stuart Line Cruises we would not be sailing into 2012.

We have some new trips planned for 2012 as well as the return of the favourites.  Our new leaflet is being delivered today and we will be putting them out and about in the New Year but if your would like a copy sent to you simply get in touch.

We are sailing throughout the Christmas and New Year festivities and our timetable is below

One company, many names

Over the years we have realised that people know us by many different names and this becomes especially apparent when you take a look at the words people type into search engines.
Here's a few examples;

stuart line cruises

exmouth cruises

river exe cruises

exmouth boat trips

river exe boat trips

sail with santa

bird watching cruises

exe estuary boat trips

With this in mind we aim to make sure the information people want is as easy to find as possible. 

We have SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) with local company Vibrant Pulse who also provide us with hosting and designed http://www.stuartlinecruises.co.uk/.  SEO is the process of improving your websites visibility through search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo and Lycos.  It means that simply typing in a description of what you want will bring you to us, so you don't have to remember our name (although we'd be pleased if you did!)

We also have several smaller websites created by ourselves tailored to specific interests, take a look at the examples below

We do try to make it as easy as possible to find the information you want on our main website.  However, we realise it can be frustrating if you want to find something in particular very quickly and for this reason we have created these mini sites.
Each site has its own style and whilst they all eventually guide you to our main site we hope they can provide that initial hit of information required.

Don't forget that you can always contact us on the phone 01395 279693 (winter) 01395 222144 (summer) and we will endeavour to provide the information you need

Santa to stay an extra day…….

Despite his busy schedule Stuart Line Cruises have managed to secure an extra trip with the Father of Christmas for their special sailings this December.

‘We’ve experienced so much demand this year that the Elves are already working overtime to get the gifts sorted for the boat trips as well as Christmas Eve’ said Tina Burke, Grotto Supervisor, ‘It took a lot of persuading but we have managed to find a window in Santa’s diary and he will be sailing on an extra trip with us on Monday 19^th December at 12.15pm’

‘This year there are 17 trips in total which means over 800 presents for children’ added Philippa Stuart, Attire Manager, ‘plus over 900 glasses of hot mulled wine for the adults and roughly 3000 biscuits, mince pies and sweets without counting the number of magic tricks and balloon modelling performed and faces painted!’

With a costumed crew, this year taking their inspiration from Mickey and Minnie Mouse, there is no doubt Stuart Line Cruises is starting the festive season with a touch of magic for the whole family!

First Blog

It has taken a while but Stuart Line Cruise is finally going to publish a Blog!

It is a new venture for us so why don't we put the options in your hands, tell us what you would us to write about, what you want to know and what you think of us.

We want to keep you updated about all things Stuart Line so it is probaly best to start at the begining and give you some information about ourselves;

Stuart Line Cruises was started by Tony Stuart with the cry of 'Trips around the Bay' from Exmouth Beach.  The boats operated in the Summer only and took passengers from a wooden walkway directly from the sands.

Now the company is owned by Tony's son Ian Stuart and is run by him and his family as well as several non family members.  From Summer only trips he has enhanced the business and the boats so that not matter what time of the year there is always a boat trip on offer.

We're going to keep this first blog short and sweet so look out for more at a later date!
