Dartmouh Higher Ferry Slipway

The Dartmouth Higher Ferry Slipway is a public boat ramp situated on the River Dart in Dartmouth, alongside the Higher Car Ferry at Coronation Park on the north end of town.

It is usable at all states of the tide, making it a reliable launch point for a wide range of craft including RIBs, small powerboats, and kayaks. Harbour dues are payable to the Dart Harbour river team or at the Harbour Office.

The slipway is noted as the main launching point within Dartmouth itself. Two people are recommended when launching. Trailer parking is available at Coronation Park adjacent to the slip, though car parking along the seafront is limited and often fills quickly.
