Berthing

Visitor Berthing

We reserve over 50 berths for visiting vessels, and regularly accommodate in excess of 100 boats during busy festival and holiday weekends, when rafting may take place.  As visible on the Pontoon Plan, visitor berths are situated in three locations:

A-leg (up to 12.5m)

G-leg (12.5 - 15m)

East Main Leg, which runs parallel to the shoreline in front of the sailmaker's (broad beam vessels and special requirements).

 

Please note the hammerheads are reserved for larger vessels over 15.5m. Visitors are asked not to berth on these unless you have made prior arrangements with the harbour office.

Booking

Reservations can only be made for vessels over 15.5m (including festival weekends). Arrangements can be made for persons on board requiring special assistance. All visitors should radio VHF Ch14, or call the Harbour Office on approach to be directed to an appropriate berth, and register at the Chandlery Reception upon arrival.

 

Visitor Rates

The current rate for visitors on the pontoons is £2.50 per metre, which incudes free Wi-Fi, water and electricity, as well as 24/7 access to the toilet and shower block.

 

Swinging moorings are offered at a flat rate of £15 per night, regardless of the length of your vessel, for those up to 12 metres.

 

Honesty Policy

Visiting vessels should radio VHF CH14 or telephone the Harbour Office or Reception prior to berthing, and register at the Chandlery Reception upon arrival.

 

If you arrive out of hours, please proceed to an available berth on the Visitor Pontoons, highlighted on our Harbour Plan.

We operate an Honesty Policy too, so you can refer to the rates list in the toilet & shower block and post your dues into the honesty box using the envelopes provided.

 

In case of any urgent enquiries or assistance, the on-call duty officer can be contacted by calling 01880 820 344 and waiting for the diversion.

• We appreciate that sometimes plans change or boats get sold. In these instances, refunds are at the discretion of the Harbour Master - but we will be as flexible as we can be.

Vessels Ashore

During the winter months, the car park is used as a storage area for customer vessels, which are lifted out around October and back in during March. Owners requiring lift out/in must be present on the day, supply their own cradle, and only boats up to 12m can use the crane.
