About

Welcome to Yarmouth Harbour – situated on the Isle of Wight’s northwest coast and gateway to West Wight’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Yarmouth Harbour is a Trust port and Statutory Harbour Authority, run by Yarmouth Harbour Commissioners (YHC). The harbour’s jurisdiction extends from the Causeway at Freshwater to the seaward limits as described in the 1996 Harbour Revision Order.

Visiting Yarmouth

Yarmouth’s pretty harbour is extremely popular with visiting seafarers yet remains somewhat a hidden gem of the Solent. Visiting yachts and motorboats are welcomed throughout the year. Over 150 visitor berths are available daily and allocated on arrival by our friendly Berthing Masters. A limited number of berths can also be booked in advance. Unique to Yarmouth Harbour is our on-the-water berthing assistance provided to visiting vessels to take the stress out of mooring up.

Yarmouth & Beyond

Just a few steps from the harbour and waiting to be discovered are Yarmouth town’s gorgeous boutique shops and galleries, as well as a wide choice of cafés, restaurants and pubs, The Pier and Yarmouth Castle, Yarmouth beach and the beautiful Western Yar Estuary. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
