The early 21st century is a time when unmanned surface vessels (USV) are used in various measurement applications. Modern autonomous and unmanned vessels are increasingly often used in bathymetric measurements whose aim is to measure the seafloor with the sufficient positioning accuracy. Therefore, the use of USVs in hydrography can be seen as the beginning of a new era in this regard. This paper presents bathymetric measurements with the use of an unmanned surface vessel in waterbodies of the Republic of Poland with highly dynamic seafloor relief (river mouth and approach to harbour). Moreover, digital terrain models (DTM) and bathymetric charts were developed with data recorded in the measurements in the waterbodies. The advantages and disadvantages of USV use in bathymetric measurements of waterbodies with highly dynamic hydromorphological changes were indicated.
