Golden Hind

The Golden Hind at Brixham is a full sized replica of one of the most iconic ships from the age

Sir Francis Drake : Soldier, Seaman, Politician and Engineer is best remembered as an explorer. In his most famous ship, The Golden Hind, he became the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe in an epic expedition of plunder and discovery (1577-1580). Step back in time...

See & feel the Captain's and Officers' cabins, how up to 60 men slept below decks, the weapons, tools, cannons, artefacts

from the age of discovery, the ropes hauled by the sailors, the creak of the timbers, the voices of the crew, treasure, pirates and so much more....

Are you related to one of the crew? Come aboard and see the crew list

The ship and the Great Cabin is available for: Film work, Private and corporate hire, Weddings & Pirate parties

Ahoy shipmates, well we can organise everything apart from the weather so unfortunately we can’t go ahead with the VIP event tonight on the ship, however we are not cancelling but postponing until tomorrow night at 8pm. See you all there, no need to rebook all tickets still valid!! Huzzah ⚓️🏴‍☠️⚓️🏴‍☠️

Ahoy there shipmates, only 15 sleeps until a few scallywags will be making their way to Brixham for the world famous Brixham Pirate Festival 🏴‍☠️⚓️🏴‍☠️⚓️.

We have received a lot of messages regarding music on the ship over the weekend, this year it will be a little different. We are having the amazing Fury play onboard on Saturday night, however this will not be a ticketed event it will be an VIP (very important pirates) invitation only event where all the people involved in running the festival, committee, volunteers, sponsors etc will be rewarded for all their hard work organising such an amazing event!

We hope we haven’t disappointed too many people but you can still have a great view from The Old Market House and join in the fun!

As the monkey said when a train ran over its tail, it won’t be long now 🏴‍☠️⚓️🏴‍☠️⚓️

After a slightly longer break than expected…
we’re back! ⚓️

The Golden Hind is now OPEN daily from 10:00am – 4:00pm 🏴‍☠️

Climb aboard, explore the decks, and dive into some swashbuckling history by the harbour!

We can’t wait to welcome you back on board!
