The Haven

The Haven provides sheltered berthing for over 350 boats with a depth of 2 metres at Mean Low Water Springs. The pontoons allow for boats up to 40’ maximum length.

Recently refurbished, the Haven looks better than ever. With power running to each berth for easy battery charging and lights running along the pontoons make for night access, and improved security.

There are four main pontoons: A-D looking north to south. From the entrance A is on the right whilst D is to the left.

The Waiting Pontoon is for members to load and unload their boats (max stay 2 hours).
To the left-hand side as you enter from the Harbour, the G pontoon holds the R19 fleet. To the right-hand side, the F Pontoon holds smaller boats. Further on is the E Pontoon for Dayboats.

Members are allocated berths on a seniority basis.
