I reviewed these notes at the end of September 2022. There's no doubt that they have changed their attitude here this century and are trying to attract visiting boats - they could probably do with a dredge to widen the access times. Trouble is you only have half the ebb to get here from Ilfracombe or loose half the flood if going back up to the Bristol Channel.

I reviewed these notes in September 2021. The good news is that the lock gate damage has been repaired and Bude is back in operation. We have added a link from the Cornish harbours website.

Bude is now managed by Cornwall Council Harbours Board. The website is www.cornwallharbours.co.uk

The sea lock is under repair following storm damage. Work has required replacement of pintles on the outer gates. It is hoped the lock will be operational by July 2021.

Little has changed here, they still require 48 hours notice of an intention to come here and you should not attempt an approach through the surf.

Warning: Do not attempt entry if there is any surf running

These notes were reviewed by Don in April 2016. The only change has been to the overnight price. The mobile phone number in the notes has been checked and works but there is no landline.

We have now got a telephone number for Bude Harbour Master
to contact him call 07816 077755

I have been trying for days to get hold of the Harbour Master at Bude used all the tel numbers listed left messages and text still no reply others from our aera have also tried.
