Main Harbour
Royal Dart Yacht Club On the eastern bank just south of the Lower Ferry is the Royal Dart Yacht Club.
Lower Ferry The Lower Ferries run from just upstream of the RDYC, from Kingswear to Dartmouth. These are tug and float ferries that manoeuvre in a narrow channel. Vessels approaching this area are to navigate with particular care in the vicinity of ferries in accordance with IRPCS. (see caution on page 35 above)
Mainstream Buoys and Anchorage Viewed from the main channel heading north, the yellow ships’ mooring buoys can be seen on the right hand side of the main channel, labelled MS1 to MS5 south to north. The spacing and configuration of these buoys is altered to meet demand and oſten there are spherical yellow buoys positioned between the Admiralty cylindrical buoys to allow berthing by smaller
vessels. The visitors’ anchorage is on the Kingswear side (east) of these buoys. Care should be taken to avoid anchoring on the mooring arrangement for the Admiralty buoys which are marked on the chart.
Town Jetty
On the Dartmouth side is the Town Jetty. During the daytime in the summer, this jetty is used by numerous ferries and trip boats. Vessels should navigate with care in this area keeping a good lookout for vessels crossing and turning in the channel.
Proceeding up the harbour from the Town Jetty, leave the Fuel barge and Waste pontoon to starboard. Aſter the Waste pontoon, the three Kingswear Visitor Pontoons will come into view on the starboard side of the channel. Immediately upstream of these is the Higher Ferry which runs across the river on cables.
