We are within walking distance of the city centre and offer showers, laundry facilities, email connections etc. Our resident caretaker / manager will usually manage to accommodate requests for berthage Our alongside mooring facilities consist of several large punts inside a walled boat harbour. Yachts must be prepared to raft up. Access to the boat harbour is only tenable approx 2hrs either side of high tide for boats with 2m draft. It is advisable to arrange your arrival in the upper harbour to comply with this restriction. A temporary anchorage while waiting for the tide is suggested at Careys Bay adjacent to the Fishermans wharf well clear of the shipping channel. If you touch the bottom in the boat harbour entrance, it is only mud !!!!

For slipping ontact Kevin, our caretaker, for pricing schedule and booking We can accommodate boats up to 45 feet or 12 ton. There is usually a waiting list in the summer however, boats can often be slipped for 24hrs with little notice.

Early contact and subsequent arrangements with the club will also enable visiting yachts to answer harbour controls “destination “ question to their satisfaction .
