A fresh horizon is coming into view. On 1 July 2026, visitMyHarbour sets sail with a brand-new look, improved navigation, and updated membership tiers designed to give sailors, cruisers, and coastal explorers more choice than ever.
A new design built for real-world sailing
The redesigned visitMyHarbour (VMH) is faster, clearer, and easier to use, whether you’re browsing on a laptop at home or checking details from your phone on the pontoon. We provide detailed harbour guides, seamless digital charts, and practical navigation tools designed to make your time on the water safer and more enjoyable.
- Cleaner pages
- Sharper chart displays
- Faster loading
- A layout that makes sense for how sailors actually plan
Because your time should be spent preparing for the water, not wrestling with a website.

What’s new:
- More ways to access our digital charts
- Flexible membership levels
- Enhanced planning tools
- A more personalised experience
A message to our legacy members
We’d like to update you on your legacy membership, and we’ve put together a page that explains everything clearly. You find out more here.
A new chapter for visitMyHarbour
After years at the helm, our captain and founder Steve Bryant is beginning a gentle voyage toward retirement. Steve has shaped visitMyHarbour into the trusted resource sailors rely on today and now he’s passing the wheel to a new crew.
The website will be in the capable hands of sailing couple Trevor Spink and Lindsay Jones, supported by their salty sea dog, Captain Herbie. Together, they’ll continue steering visitMyHarbour with the same passion for safe sailing, detailed harbour knowledge, and love of life on the water.
As they travel the coastline aboard their Moody 471 yacht, Pathfinder , Trevor, Lindsay, and Captain Herbie bring real-world cruising experience straight into the heart of visitMyHarbour. Their life afloat keeps them close to the tides, the harbours, and the community they serve, ensuring the site remains shaped by sailors, for sailors.
