The web page for daily visitors to Salcombe Harbour lists an extra 17p charge per HP on top of the normal harbour dues.
So for, say, a 14m boat with 600hp this means £22.26 for Harbour dues plus an EXTRA £102.00 for the engines!

Are they actually charging this or have I got it wrong?

It's been 2 years since we last visited Salcombe, they weren't doing it then. With a total of 960HP I won't be ever visiting Salcombe again if this charge is real. Seems they only want sailing boats in Salcombe.
 
I was there last year and there was no such charge. Looking at their 2023/24 budget report, this charge is levied on residents and not visitors unless this has since changed.
 
We were there two weeks ago , 42ft boat, 740 hp. Four nights on a mooring £78.00 good price.

That’s £19.08 for the harbour dues and £182.28 for the engines per day !!! Surely this is a big mistake , no one would ever enter the harbour knowing this .
All I can say is that the well known surveyor I work with had a hell of a job when he went to survey a boat there , some jumped up little Hitler trying to tell him he was not allowed to work because he had not made an appointment to look over a boat stored on the public quay , I guess the locals just don’t want it.
