Visitors to our distillery in Salcombe can often watch our distillers at work whilst enjoying a ‘Salcombe & Tonic’ overlooking the estuary. Next door is our Gin School where visitors can make their very own bespoke 70cl bottle of gin and is also home to The Victuallers where one can peruse our carefully curated collection of products and purchase a little Salcombe to take home! We are delighted to be serving Salcombe Gin ‘Start Point’ our flagship and internationally award-winning gin over the Classic Channel Regatta weekend in Dartmouth. It’s a classic citrus led London-Dry gin which uses 13 carefully selected botanicals including Macedonian juniper and English coriander seed as well as the finest fresh citrus fruit peels of red grapefruit, lemon and lime which were once carried by the Salcombe Fruit Schooners.

Exposure Lights

Improve your chances of survival - be seen and get rescued fast.
Being rescued fast could be the difference between life and death. Exposure's Man Overboard (MOB) strobe and searchlight is designed to do just that - make the difference between life and death.
As soon as the buoyant, pocket-sized MOB hits the water, its 1300 lumens strobe starts flashing automatically, for up to 40 hours. What's more, its highly visible from the air, and can be seen from more than 5 miles away.
And by the way, the MOB strobe is a really powerful torch as well.
One night it might just make the difference.
