Dartmouth Ferry Refit Timetable
With Christmas just around the corner, Dartmouth’s Lower Ferry is gearing up to keep the festive spirit, and the town, moving! To keep passengers safe and to follow legal guidelines, the ferries’ annual refits and Marine and Coastguard Agency (MCA) inspections will be taking place between November and February.
The team are working hard to make sure your journeys across the Dart are as smooth as possible this winter. They’ll have extra staff on board during single ferry periods, working hard to keep everything running safely and efficiently. Please be patient and kind to the team – they’re here to help you get where you need to go.
