Harbour Master's welcome

Dart Harbour is a beautiful and welcoming river which is navigable from its outer limits offshore from Dartmouth Castle at Castle Ledge Buoy upstream for approximately 9.5 miles to the Dart Harbour northern limits at the Totnes Weir.

Sailing Directions are outlined at http://www.dartharbour.org/harbour-river-guide/sailing-directions/ to assist you in exploring this area of water which is mainly located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The speed limit for the whole port river is 6 knots, please please proceed more slowly if necessary to reduce wash, especially in the upper reaches where bank erosion is likely to occur.

Our VHF call sign is "Dart Nav" and Dart Harbour staff are on hand to assist in any way they can to make your stay on the river an enjoyable and relaxing experience.

Our staff are afloat seven days a week throughout the summer to greet and assist visiting craft of all types and size to find a suitable available berth.

We welcome contact prior to your arrival either by phone or VHF but please bear in mind that our visitors' moorings are allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

Our office staff are on hand to offer help or advice on the likely availability of moorings in any particular area of the river.
