Rallies

Pre-booked rallies of 5 or more boats are very welcome and can be booked through the Berthing Office - tel: 01983 872828 extension 1 or via email: mail@bembridgeharbour.co.uk

The Berthing Team will be happy to discuss any requirements (such as marquee/BBQ hire etc) with the Rally Organiser, who will be provided with a date specific Rally Code to issue to rally members.  Owners attending as part of a rally should book their berth individually through the Harbour's online booking system using the Rally Code.   All online bookings attract a discount of 5% off our standard tariff rate.  In addition, a Rally Discount is available at off peak times - see Rally Discounts below.   

All rally boats will be berthed in our Rally Rafting Area (now on the outside- south - side of the Duver pontoon).  If a finger berth is required it must be booked without using the Rally Code and will not be eligible for any rally discount.  In this case, the Rally Organiser, or individual owner is requested to notify the Berthing Team to enable if possible, the boats to be berthed near to the Rally Rafting Area.  This is dependent on boat size and finger availability and will be facilitated if possible but cannot be guaranteed.     

The  Duver pontoon is dredged to a depth on both sides of approximately 2 metres at Mean Low Water Springs (latest bathymetric survey November 2022) with finger berths along both sides of the main pontoon spine.  Our Rally Rafting Area on the south side of the Duver pontoon has been enlarged for 2023 - click here for a Duver Marina plan. 

Our large marquee, overlooking the pontoons and Harbour, can be hired by rallies for private use.  3 large gas barbecues are also available to hire, for a DIY rally lunch or supper, or you might want to book an outside caterer to make life easy.    Both clubs in the Harbour - Brading Haven Yacht Club and Bembridge Sailing Club welcome visiting yachtsmen and have bar and dining facilities.   

A Water Taxi service operates all year round (reduced service in the winter) with drop off points around the Harbour.  There is no late evening service.
 
The seasonal Duver Cafe is open from Easter (daily from 0830) and Steve's Bar will be serving up Island beers, wine and spirits.   See more on the Duver Cafe website: duvercafeiow.co.uk or on Duver Cafe | Facebook    Steve's Bar: Steve's Bar, Duver Marina | Facebook
