Update April2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 1st Apr 2022
I reviewed these notes in April 2022. There is uncertainty about the future of Ryde Harbour. The Island Council has relinquished it to the Ryde Town Council who took charge at the beginning of this month. They are incommunicado at the moment. We know that it is badly silted up and there are rumours of turning it into a car park but those are unsubstantiated so we wait with baited breath.

A ticket to Ryde?
Written by Tyro Sailor | 4th Sep 2021
I've heard from two independent soures that Ryde Harbour has silted up and is closed, and the various councils are arguing about whose responsibility it is to dredge it. Probably best visited by hovercraft or catamaran ferry.
Editors Note: It's still open and being used, and has a new HM. It needs dredging.
Update May 2018

The fire damaged pontoon has been replaced.
Due to flood relied work which is currently taking place on the beach the harbour wall does not provide access to the shore, it's fenced off. You can still tie up to the wall.
UPDATE SPRING 2018

I have talked to the HM here and he agrees with our member below that dog legging in as he has described is a good idea. I've altered the text to reflect this. The fire damaged pontoon has been sourced and will go in just after Easter (2018) I've updated the prices and the chart.

Ryde Harbour Update
Written by Robert1962 | 31st Aug 2017
Two issues have arisen this year to give visitors a problem when using Ryde Harbour. The first is that a sand bar has built over the bouyed entrance and vessels would be advised to navigate alongside the pier (to the west of the entrance till they are adjacent to No:3 bouy and then head towards the harbour entrance. At high tide (neaps) I was showing 1.2 on the sounder when I passed over the bar. Also a boat fire has caused serious damage to the visitors pontoon, severely restricting the amount of visiting craft able to get a berth. Call the Harbour Master prior to your visit to get an update on the situation - 31/08/17

Word from the HM
Written by Bryant | 11th Apr 2011
Fuel is not available alongside, the nearest garage is 1.2 miles away which means a taxi ride or walk there is a pub half way. Visitors who need marine repairs contact harbour staff for local information.
Provisioning is straightforward enough with The Coop perhaps the closest supermarket with local shops across the road.
There is a huge Tesco's superstore just outside of Ryde , and its open 24 hours a day (except Sundays) a taxi or bus ride may be necessary. "
