LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS NO 11 OF 2026

SALCOMBE TOWN REGATTA –

ESTUARY OF LIGHTS and FIREWORKS DISPLAY 30th July 2026

The Salcombe Town Regatta Estuary of Lights is open to all, to decorate/light you own boat. Please find somewhere in advance of the fireworks to moor or anchor, in line with the firework restrictions below. All vessels are to comply with Salcombe Harbour Byelaws. Vessels are to remain self-propelled (not towed) and navigate as normal without any dressing or decoration detrimentally effecting their ability to make way, manoeuvre, maintain a look out, display navigation lights or comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea.

The Salcombe Town Regatta Firework Display will take place at 22:00 Thursday 30th July from a pontoon in the middle of the harbour near Town/Fisherman’s Beach. An exclusion zone centred on the fireworks pontoon (50°14’.139N 3°45’.831W) will be maintained for the duration, indicated by the red circle, this may be expanded depending on wind strength. The pontoon and tow boat are restricted in their manoeuvrability and need to be treated as such and given a wide berth.

FIREWORK TECHNICIANS WILL NOT COMMENCE THE DISPLAY
IF THE EXCLUSION ZONE IS NOT CLEAR

All vessels are to temporarily moor or anchor (alongside another boat where necessary) during the display to maintain position without the need to be underway. Anchoring will be prohibited adjacent to Town/Fisherman’s Beach. During the display the Harbour Taxi will remain berthed and suspend operations. Access to Normandy and Whitestrand pontoons will be restricted before and during the display. Many boats and tenders will congregate for the duration of the event but we would like to remind everyone that displaying navigation lights is essential while under way after sunset – for small tenders, this may only be a torch. All vessels should exercise extreme caution navigating in a busy waterway, keeping speed and wake to a minimum whilst maintaining a good look out.
