Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta
The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta is a unique combination of serious racing and fun on the water, with as much post racing activity as you can cope with. It’s has often been called “the best in the West”.
Darthaven Marina Berthing
During the regatta period, Darthaven Marina provides visitor berthing only for competing boats. Berthing is allocated on arrival – prebooking is not available.
For safety reasons Darthaven Marina can only accommodate boats of length up to 40 feet. Please expect to complete a registration form with owner details and to pay for berthing on arrival.
Note that Mother Ships cannot be berthed due to the need to reserve space for bona fide competitors. Space may be available at Dart Harbour but please note that berths are allocated on a strictly first come basis.
