At-a-Glance • Yarmouth, Maine

NOAA Chart: 13290

The chart makes the Royal River look like a serpentine nightmare of shoals, buoys, and thin-spread water, leading to a tiny basin of unknown depth. The reality is navigation is easy with numerous and frequent buoys installed by the U.S. Coast Guard. Additionally, the town has placed even more markers to help boaters. Mean low water depth to the turning basin is 8′. The main channel and turning basin at the head of navigation was dredged, expanded, and deepened in 2015.
