Watercraft & Registration

The Teign estuary is used extensively by a wide range of leisure and commercial vessels varying in size from small dinghies and powerboats to commercial fishing boats and merchant ships. It requires courtesy and understanding from all users. The safety of all water users navigating in the area is of utmost importance particularly given the increasing number of accidents involving watercraft. Therefore, all users are kindly requested to register their craft with THC using the Watercraft Registration Form to ensure that the Teign remains safe for all users.
