Visitors' Moorings
Welcome to Dart Harbour in the beautiful South Hams. We hope you have a wonderful stay and will return to visit us time and time again.
Dart Harbour provides a number of prime moorings, both pontoon berths and swinging moorings, in the most desirable locations for you to use but to help us to find you a mooring or anchorage speedily please contact Dart Harbour on VHF Channel 11 call sign “DartNav” first before entering the harbour.
There are several mooring or anchorage options:
Visitor moorings are clearly marked VISITOR or V.
Visitors’ Dinghy Facilities can be found on the pontoon outside of the Boatfloat Entrance. The entrance to Dartmouth inner harbour, known locally as the Boatfloat, is just to the north of the town jetty. The pontoon is clearly marked with VISITOR or V.
