Solent winter visitor rates

[PaulR]

hoping to get the odd night away this winter and so far have found that Bembridge (£3m)/ Beaulieu (£3.50m)/Cowes YH (£2.75m) and Lymington HM (£3m) are all showing on line these reduced winter visitor rates - very welcome reductions - have had a quick look on others websites but not found any reduced winter visitor rates yet - if you are aware of any please flag them up.

Thanks

Yarmouth has monthly winter rates for those who want to park up for a while. That’s £30 a metre for finger berths. Daily comes out about £3 a metre, done in size brackets rather than actual measurement. If you stay a fortnight, they’ll charge you whichever is less.

Just be aware that they all charge about £10 on top for electricity now.

Although between that and the extortionate cost of a berth, at least we've moved on from when there was no space anywhere to visit!

Depends what you draw-we are OK with our boat-but a chat with Mark at Newport might help.

Shallow draught or bilge keel can lay alongside the pontoon lower end, fin keel can dry out against the wall.

We like Newport and it is very reasonable.

Are there not cheap berths to be had at Island harbour over winter? Just a thought . Perhaps a nicer environment than Newport in the winter.

Status still uncertain. Don’t go if you want to make much use of the lock, though obviously if you want the services of the excellent and helpful Richardsons, it’s the place to be.

Yes Richardsons are very good I’m told based on what I was told by a Bowman 48 owner I recollect -rather surprised me he could gain access although we did access once at 1.95m keel - it’s very sad as they used to be more in control of marina I seem to recollect.

I've been avoiding marinas and trying to support local yacht clubs and yards. I've had some lovely evenings at Gins Farm, RFYC, RSYC, Marchwood and Cowes Corinthian this autumn. I also recommend River Yar Boatyard if you fancy being somewhere different to Yarmouth itself.

And by the time you’ve got to River Yar, go another 400m up river, we might be aboard.
