About CBC
We are a community based sports and leisure boating club located on the western shores of the Exe Estuary in Starcross, just south of Exeter in Devon. We are the custodians of a grade 1 historic listed building, Brunel Tower, c1847, built originally as a pumping house for the South Devon Railways revolutionary Atmospheric Railway. The system was designed by the great Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
As our name suggests we cater for a wide range of boating interests. Our very successful boat fishing section is well supported and caters for a wide variety of craft from small dinghies through to large diesel powered craft.

Cockwood Boat Club History
The Club organises a series of events throughout the year, ranging from Speciality Meals, Discos, BBQ’s, Bar Draws and impromptu ‘get togethers’. Towards the end of the year we hold our Annual Gala Night – a chance to dress up and get out of those deck shoes / wellies! …. and of course Christmas and New Year celebrations should not be missed.
We have two Skittles teams, (Men’s and Ladies), and play other riverside based clubs during the off season months.
A New Members evenings is arranged early in the season. All are welcome to come along on these nights to support New Members and meet the Flag Officers and Committee.
All events will be advertised within the Club and displayed on the club Facebook page.
A warm welcome is always extended to visitors with affiliation to RYA, Angling Trust, and any other fishing or cruising clubs.
The Club has a close relationship with the RNLI – particularly the Exmouth Lifeboat crew. A lot of our events are held to raise greatly needed funds for the RNLI, so please come along and give your support.
The Club-house is available for hire, but this has to be at the convenience of the Club and members. Please contact me through the club if you need any further information. Application forms are available from the bar. Do come along and meet us. We pride ourselves with being a friendly, fun-loving Club and you can be sure of a warm welcome.
Finally, we are always looking for new ideas, suggestions and help. If you feel you can help or have any suggestions on how we can better improve our social side of the Club, please contact us.
