SAILING DIRECTIONS Dittisham & Flat Owers


Dittisham There are some visitors’ moorings in this area.


Contact ‘DART NAV’ on VHF Ch. 11 for directions. Visitors’ short stay dinghy berths are available at the end of the Dittisham pontoon. There is a water taxi service operated by the Dittisham to Greenway Ferry.


The Dittisham to Greenway Ferry is based on Greenway Quay. The quay is private. The owner can be contacted by calling the ferry on VHF Ch. 10 for permission to land. It is advisable that vessels proceeding further up river do so on a rising tide from here on. Follow the moorings round the outside of Flat Owers bank keeping to the Galmpton side until the second boathouse (Sandridge boathouse) is reached.
