Getting to Deep Blue and the Mount Batten Centre.

Head down the A38 Devon Expressway for Plymouth. This is a great road if you have a fast car / bike, but watch out for lurking Police. Take the City Centre turnoff next to Sainsbury's. Head into Town, but watch out for speed cameras down this stretch of road. Follow signs for Kingsbridge which will take you over the River and heading East out of Plymouth. Keep your eyes peeled for the Mount Batten turnoff which is about half a mile after the bridge. Turn right at the turning ( there is a Mac D's here too ) and then stay on this road heading for Mount Batten. You will come to a crossroads with traffic lights that has no signs on it. TURN RIGHT !. After turning right, simply stay on this road heading for Mount Batten.

Endeavour will normally use the Mount Batten Centre as it’s primary pick up point but if the tides are too low then we use the Water Taxi Pontoon which is another 200m further down the road.

Whichever pontoon we are using it’s always best to call us on 07791 152 317 to check first to save any unnecessary unloading! There are also 2 free car parks in the Mount Batten area and please do not park in the Mount Batten Hotel’s car park unless you are a guest there.

Getting to Sutton Harbour. (West Side of Plymouth)

We tend to use Sutton Harbour when we are running training courses as the area is much quieter.

Endeavour has a permanent berth in Sutton Harbour and we have electricity and water supply on the pontoon which is great for washing kit down.

If you intend to load here you must check with us first as we will need to meet you at the gate to let you in with a magnetic key. Please do not just turn up and expect to be able to load as you may find we have left to go over to Mount Batten.

We intend to be using Sutton Harbour more over the next few years as the parking situation improves but for now the best place is by far Mount Batten.

To get to Sutton Harbour follow the signs for City Centre and as you drive down the embankment road you will see the large river estuary on your left.

The road will then split two ways and you need to stay in the left hand lane heading for the City Centre. This will then take you down a one way system and eventually round a long right hand bend and up to a round about where you turn left again into Exeter Street.

Stay on this small section of dual carriageway again staying in the left hand lane until you see the road fork off to the left which takes you to the Barbican area. If you arrive at another roundabout with a bombed out Church in the middle of it you have missed the left hand turn so double back on yourself and try again.

Assuming you got the left hand turn ok stay on this road for 300m until you hit a mini roundabout. Turn left here and stay on the road going past Aquanauts dive centre which are based on a tight right hand bend.

Go around the bend and then take your third left hand turn into a one way system that takes you through the narrow road and Barbican shops. You will see a large glass building on your left and as the road opens out you will see Sutton Harbour also on your left and that is where Endeavour is moored.

Parking is a nightmare and very expensive so we are not using this as our normal pick up point until all is sorted, remember you must call us first if you plan to use Sutton Harbour as the load / unload area.
