Up the River Dart 

The RYA Guide to the River Dart reveals the delights of the river with pilotage notes and useful information.

Rising up out of Dartmoor and tumbling through South Devon, the River Dart meets the sea at Dartmouth. Steeped in nautical history and good pubs too, Dartmouth is often as far as many visiting boats get to.

But, it’s up river that the Dart comes into its own. By boat, and with a rising tide, the Dart is navigable as far as Totnes, which dates back over a thousand years and is a cool place to shop and eat.

The river has stunning scenery, great visitor moorings, good pubs, historical sites, yummy ice creams, crabbing and tranquil surroundings, and with 2.3m to 3.5m HW Totnes and lots more height along the way, it's achievable by most boats.

Follow the route up the Dart with the RYA Guide to the River Dart. The guide provides pilotage notes, pictures and information on the places to eat, visitor moorings and historical sites.
