Information
Bathed in an almost Mediterranean climate the South Hams most Southerly town is located in an area of breathtaking, unspoilt natural beauty. With its picturesque harbour, dramatic coastline and wonderful surrounding countryside it is no wonder that Salcombe has been a popular holiday destination as long as can be remembered.
A Mecca for wildlife enthusiasts, birds flock in their thousands to the harbour. The estuary is a haven for a wide variety of fish, including many very rare species, and is frequently visited by basking sharks and dolphins. Like birds, folk with a passion for the life aquatic also flock here in their thousands and who could blame them? The opportunities for sailing, boating fishing and water-sports are virtually matchless anywhere else in the UK. Salcombe also boasts several excellent sailing schools offering tuition to the very highest standard.
The little town itself is vibrant labyrinth of narrow streets and steep alleyways, its charm equalled only by the variety of shops, fine restaurants and cafes from which to choose. You can stroll at your leisure whilst enjoying delicious, locally produced ice cream or chocolate, visit Island Street’s famous boatyards or catch a ferry to nearby East Portlemouth and North and South Sands for a day on the beach. In short Salcombe has everything you would expect from a British holiday by the sea – and maybe just a little bit more!

One of the most beautiful sailing and fishing centres in the world, Salcombe Harbour offers a safe haven to visiting yachts. Apart from the sizeable local shellfishing fleet, there is no commercial traffic. Yacht and small craft moorings are concentrated into certain dedicated areas, leaving a large proportion of the many creeks unspoilt as a natural habitat for an abundance of wildlife.

Marine Architect, Marine Surveyors
David Greening Naval Architect Ltd completes Marine Surveys, Powerboat Surveys, Yacht Surveys, Naval Architecture and Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) consultancy, working directly with boat owners as well as providing contract services for boat builders and yacht designers.
As a Marine Surveyor and Naval Architect based in Salcombe, I am within easy reach of the South West of England's major sailing centres, however I regularly travel further, including to the Solent. Exeter airport is nearby with good links to major French and Spanish sailing centres, whilst the Plymouth ferry provides easy access to Brittany and Northern France.
With thirty years in the marine industry and having sailed a wide variety of boats from an early age, I have practical experience on and off the water.

My name is Kess from and I come from Stockholm Sweden. This summer, I plane to visit you Harbour around July 4-5. My boat has a draft of 2.5 meters. My question is where in the marina might I add.
Best regards
