Entering Fleet Mill Reach Passing the wreck (Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer). A port hand buoy is positioned to the south of the upstream end of the old paddle steamer (Allcock). When parallel with the end of the wall at Fleet Mill Quay head towards Sharpham’s North Quay and then stay on the outside of the next bend and pass close to the “40’ off” mark, an unlit red pole with a red can topmark. Leave it to port.
40’ Off Mark Keep close to leſt bank once past the “40’ off” mark and make into the centre of the river and then pass close to Berry Rock outcrop (fig. 23) on the starboard side of the channel before negotiating the next leſt hand bend just right of centre of the channel. It is wide enough for two boats to pass under normal circumstances.
Totnes and Baltic Wharf There are berths on both sides of the river here. Baltic Wharf boatyard to port is private but enquire at the office (tel: 01803 867922 )for visitor berth availability. The berths to starboard are controlled by Dart Harbour on behalf of South Hams District Council. Directions are posted giving details of payment and use of these facilities.
Approaching Totnes It is possible to go up river to where the river forks. There is a single berth at the terrace of the Steam Packet Inn. Ask at the Steam Packet (tel: 01803 863880 )about berthing.
The main channel goes up to Totnes. The Totnes Boating Association (TBA) club house is on the right bank. The TBA has its own moorings. Ask at the club house if any are temporarily available for visitors. The right hand fork is the main channel.
