Visitor Berthing and Terms and Conditions 

Please note: a hosepipe ban for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, in force since July 2025, has been lifted.  Water sources serving the Island still need significant rainfall to fully recover, so it is important to protect supplies as much as possible by restricting water usage and using it wisely. Thank you for your continuing support.
