Update March 2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 15th Mar 2022
These notes were reviewed in March 2022. There has been improvement work here for several years but that is now complete. We've updated this years marina berth plan and noted the price for the summer 2022 otherwise it's much as before.
Bucklers Hard

Master Builders still closed. Apparently staff shortage now.

New anchoring restrictions 2020
Written by Tyro Sailor | 16th Mar 2021
Visiting one lunchtime last summer I learned that anchoring is now allowed only on the south side of the river between posts 20 and 22. And, what's more, we were charged £10 for a stay of only an hour or two.
However, a couple of years ago I spent a quiet night on a buoy near the first corner for the same price, and Lord Montagu's minion was very helpful.
SEPTEMBER 2020
Written by chitchat | 5th Oct 2020
Friendly (and busy!) as ever. On line booking for visitors available but phone call works too. During Covid they were not letting out any unoccupied moorings upstream to visitors. Shower block now exceptional; again during Covid with limited opening times. New rates as published - Walk Ashore £4/m. Total of 46 visitors berths when all complete. Yachtsman's Bar closed indefinitely. Master Builder restaurant by reservation only.
UPDATE SPRING 2020

There are new pontoons for visitors!! We have uploaded new charts (which do not yet show the new pontoons) and a new pontoon layout chartlet. The prices have increased but the new pontoon price includes electricity.

Visit Nov 2019
Written by geoff4143 | 13th Dec 2019
New Amenities Block probably the best on the South coast and very welcome in the colder months. Harbour staff are always polite and very helpful. Few buses and miles from the train if you need to get home. Beautiful isolated river moorings or sometimes noisy visitors pontoon. New walk ashore marina extension being built. Recommended!
UPDATE SPRING 2018
Written by Don Thomson | 12th Mar 2018
There are some new navigation marks and some of the existing pylons have been lit. There is a new amenities block at Beaulieu opening for this season. There are some new visitors buoys in the first arm of the river entrance and a few further up river. The HM now listens out on VHF#68. Prices have been revised.
We have uploaded new Admiralty charts.
