Dart Marina (Noss on Dart in the background) We received the following message from Dart Marina "As we are an annual berth holder Marina, we only have space here when our residents are away. For this reason, we do not take any bookings in advance, please call on arrival in the River or the day before to check on any availability, we will happily accommodate if we are able. We do have access to shore power and water." Dart Marina is further up the river and a pleasant 10 to 15 mins walk from Dartmouth main town.
