Dartmouth Boat Hire
We are very conveniently located in the centre of Dartmouth on the North Embankment opposite the Band Stand in a small clearly marked kiosk and identified by our yellow and blue banner
- Our boats are available to hire (self drive) from 2 - 6 hours
- Our boats are rigorously maintained and are regularly updated. All boats are inspected and licensed by the Harbour Authority.
- We have boats available and licensed for parties of any size up to 8 people.
- There are larger boats that comfortably accommodate two families and are great value for money.
- We provide a comprehensive safety briefing and friendly instruction on the use of the river and guidance on the use of the river chart.
- Our prices include fuel (other than for long hires), life jackets, river chart and a comprehensive information pack.
- No licence is required to take a boat out. However, we need to ensure that the hirer has appropriate experience.
Our boats are available from 10am everyday if it's fine weather.
If not, then we are on call for the intrepid explorer and are only ten minutes away.
Boats include a 17ft Fisherman type boat with open buddy cabin - we have two of these boats; one is tiller steered and the other is equipped with a steering wheel. One will carry 8 people and the other one will carry 6.
We have 6 small cabin cruisers, carrying from 4 to 6 people. The small cabin provides protection for children should the weather turn. We also have an open boat that seats up to six people; this is best used on a sunny, wind-free day, and is ideal for 2 to 4 people.
Our rates are £80 for two hours, £100 for 3 hours, £130 for 4 hours and £170 for 6 hours
Bookings can be made either directly at the blue and white stripped kiosk on the Quay, or via phone, or indeed via our website, but please note bookings via the website need to be at least 24 hours before the required booking date.
