Yealm Community Electric Transport

Yealm Community Electric Transport From an idea conceived around a table - in a barn in Feb 2020, there was a desire to offer the community an electric powered water transport service.

🛟The River Yealm Ferry is run by Yealm Community Electric Transport (YCET ) as a ferry and water taxi service across the River Yealm, the 🥾, , , village pubs 🍻 and boat moorings ⛵🛥️ We are now delighted to announce that the boat has been delivered and we will soon be able to offer you a regular service to and from your vessel and various points along the River Yealm.
