Furia, the Christmas competition winning boat - can you spot Santa
Boat owners in Torquay's inner harbour bought into the Christmas spirit - welcoming aboard a special seaborne Santa.
They took part in a first-ever Christmas lights decorating competition as part of the highly successful Bay of Lights seasonal initiative.
The competition was run by the English Riviera BID company and Torbay Harbours office with £100 going to the best decorated boat.
Furia, with Martin Cogdell as the Captain and Amanda Castle as crew, were victorious.
Amanda said: "It was great fun and we were delighted to win.'
The winners not only decorated their boat but also invited Santa and Mrs Claus to visit their boat for the evening to look out for naughty and nice people!
