We've added a walking guide to the toilets and a drone shot of the pontoon.
Update June 2022

I reviewed these notes in June 2022. Information for this port is scattered about the internet. All that information has been drawn together here. I can't find any link to a webcam so best contact the published numbers for a check on the availability.
UPDATE SPRING 2021

I reviewed these notes at the beginning of May 2021. Thanks Yann (below) for your information on the sail the wash website - I too have found these and links to that website are already in the notes and the approach directions are up to date with these.
extended visitors pontoon and relevant website

The website Sail the Wash, https://www.sailthewash.com/ , specifically designed for leasure crafts, is where all needed information for accessing Kings Lynn can be found . The site also allows to check berth availabily on the recently extended visitors pontoon. Includes a webcam with live images of the pontoon.

Update Spring 2019
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 18th Apr 2019
I reviewed these notes in April 2019. There are new charts on the Kings Lynn Conservancy Board's web site one of which has been put in the navigation images on this site - it is worth consulting. I've posted this years Admiralty Charts - if you run on Navionics it would be an idea to check the positions of the RM2 and RM4 Roaring Middle buoys as Navionics had them out of position last year. And, finally the tariff at the Kings Lynn pontoon has not changed but there are still no showers or toilets
UP DATE MARCH 2017

These notes were reviewed by Don in March 2017. The main thing to note is that the dredged channel in the outer approach has changed so you need to consult the latest charts and information before beginning your approach. Still no dedicated toilet/shower block; no change in harbour dues.
Update 2015
