Higher Ferry and Noss
Dart Marina & Higher Ferry The Higher Ferry runs on cables and it is advisable to give it a wide berth. Dart Marina is situated on the Dartmouth (western) side just above the Higher Ferry. Visitors’ berths are available. Contact Dart Marina on VHF Ch. 80. Tel: 01803 837161 (see caution on page 31 above)
Old Mill Creek This creek dries out at low water. Old Mill Creek is located on the leſt hand side of the river, heading north, just north of Sandquay. There are yacht repair and lay-up facilities at the head of Old Mill Creek (Distins Boatyard and Creekside Boatyard). Passage up the creek should be made on a rising tide. The deepest water is to be found close to the moorings in the creek.
All the moorings here are private. The yellow buoys belong to the Naval College and may only be used with permission.
Noss on Dart (Premier Marina) Further north on the right hand side of the channel Noss on Dart is a yacht haven with limited liſt out facilities.

Sandquay Sandquay, immediately to the north of Dart Marina, belongs to the Ministry of Defence. Expect a lot of small boat activity in this area. There is no berthing without prior permission.
For the availability of visitors’ berths contact Noss on Dart VHF Ch. 80 (tel: 01803 839 087 or aſter 5pm call 07920 425452).
Follow the course of the river favouring the starboard side of the channel. Private moorings marked with orange buoys are situated on the west side of the river.
Anchor Stone
Towards the Anchor Stone Continue to favour the starboard side of the river as Maypool is reached. See Fig 8. There is a disused grid marked by two unlit green poles with triangular topmarks just below Maypool. There are a few berth holder moorings just off Maypool jetty. There are also Dart Harbour berth holder moorings on the western side of the river. Identify the Anchor Stone, marked by a red pole with a red can topmark Fl(2).R.5s, early, and leave well to port. (see photo) There can be a tide race here, but it is easy to negotiate once identified. There are Dart Harbour visitors’ moorings (white buoys) just beyond the Anchor Stone on the west side of the river. These can be used with permission from Dart Harbour.
