Tucked away at the head of Galmpton Creek, Dartside Quay lies some three miles up river from Dartmouth. In a sheltered position and with beautiful views across to Dittisham, it offers extensive facilities along with a chandlery.

The 7 acre dry boat storage area has space for over 300 boats and is serviced by a 65 ton hoist, one of the largest in the area, which operates from a purpose-built dock. There is also a 16 ton trailer hoist operating on a slipway.

These facilities are complemented by various specialist marine tenants on site who can assist with boat repairs and maintenance. A number of summer mud moorings are available.

Dartside Quay's location offers access to spectacular cruising both up the River Dart, with its many secluded anchorages, and along the unspoilt West Coast. The more adventurous can head further afield to the Channel Islands and the North Brittany coast, both of which are within easy reach and perfect for a weekend away.
