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.

We have completed the first phase of regeneration works, and have plenty of projects in the pipeline tp keep us busy.  The Visitors' pontoon was dredged and extended in 2012.  Dredging work and the renewal of pontoons at Bembridge Marina are currently underway (April 2013).  Please see Local Notice to Mariners No 7 and updates at News Update.

We are looking forward to our Celebration Weekend  in July - a bumper weekend of local events on and off the water - click here for all the details. 

This website is continually being updated and for new visitors to the Harbour, we recommend a study of its Navigation section, where a pictorial guide to safe pilotage into the Harbour can be found and 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.  Bembridge Sailing Club and Brading Haven Yacht Club both offer their facilities to visiting yachtsmen - details here.

We offer a full range of harbour moorings from walk-ashore pontoons to middle of the Harbour drying moorings that are served by our water taxi. For winter storage we also provide on-shore facilities with electricity and water.  Please phone the Harbour Office on 01983 872828 for more details.
