Welcome to Bembridge Harbour

On behalf of Bembridge Harbour management and staff  I would like to extend a warm welcome to all Harbour visitors and users.

The Harbour is entering an exciting phase of reinvestment under new ownership, with fresh ideas and plans to optimise its potential.

Reconstruction of the St Helens Duver sea wall by the Isle of Wight Council, together with dredging to the principal mooring areas and new extended pontoons by Bembridge Harbour Authority are initial key elements in the regeneration of Bembridge Harbour.

For visitors new to the Harbour,we recommend looking at the section on Navigation where there is a pictorial guide to assist in a safe pilotage (the guide can be printed off for easy use on board).

The Harbour is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and nearby Brading Marshes are home to the first RSPB site on the Island. There are many picturesque walks in and around the area, historic sites to visit, beautiful beaches to enjoy and a busy Harbour where there's always something to watch. The villages of Bembridge and St Helens offer a rich variety of shops, restaurants and pubs and are well worth exploring. Visit our Local Information section for more details on all of the above.

Harbour moorings are again available this summer, arranged in trots with boats moored fore and aft. All moorings are served by a water taxi which is free of charge to mooring holders and their crew to and from shore. Please phone the Harbour Office on 01983 872828 for mooring enquiries and reservations.
