May 2026 £44 for 9 metres on a finger berth.
£10 electric card, unused is refundable. I think elec should be included in the fee.
Good shower and toilet facilities.
Friendly harbour staff will show you to your berth.

Harold Hayles no longer provide visitors moorings since the pandemic. Note comments on harbour prices, see post below. 2024 visitors pricing is in the link in the Berthing sections above.

£62 a night on a raft of 3
A week later 40 quid for the priviledge of a bouy in a packed in grid too small for the 40 footer I was on.

Where do they get off charging for length on a bouy?

Way too much for shorthanded non-occasional use.

Arrived in a fair blow - passing many yachts returning from The Needles (45knts) after an attempt at The Round The Island Race. The Harbour berthing crew could not have been more helpful/professional for a visitor unfamiliar with the set-up. Nice to see The Old Gaffers rally in and 'dressed over'. Shoreside facilities were first rate and all staff extremely helpful. The town has an abundance of good hostelries and the late session at Salty's still fun, under new ownership, with table dancing permitted. Off The Rails (a quirky railway themed restaurant) was worth the walk for good food in a nice spot with some outside seating. Breakfast at The Gossips Cafe was disappointing.

I reviewed these notes in early April of 2022. To clear up the showers; they are included in the mooring price if you are on a harbour mooring. If you have arrived by ferry or your boat is parked somewhere else you will be charged.

A couple of weekends ago the showers were still free, and very swish and clean, despite the marina being absolutely chock-a-block. But the arrangement, at least in the one I used, ensured that the floor of the day area got wet, and there was nowhere to put the soap! Heads v good.

The showers and toilets have all been updated to a very high standard in late 2020 for male facilities and early 2021 for female facilities. I do believe showers remain free of charges.
There are essentials available to buy in the harbour reception, and a good quality coffee machine with bar stool seating area.

The showers (which are no longer the best on the South Coast but still very acceptable) are now Free of Charge. This is the same if you are moored at Harold Hayles boatyard - or even if you come on the bus from Cowes! There is often a queue in the gents in the morning.

Out of high season, the mooring fees on the finger berths are very reasonable (10m yacht £24).

The harbour gets very crowded in Summer, particularly at weekends. You may be asked to wait outside for a while, but the Harbour staff make an excellent job of managing the comings and goings. Please cooperate with their requests!

Well done! Your reference to the memsahib smacks of both racism and sexism. It has been known for men to shower too you know.

Eds note:
There..changed it to SWMBO. fixed it for you and the PC brigade

There is a new facility on their website which explains everything from the entry waypoint to where you cab tie up etc and a link has been provided. Prices have gone up across the board. The eating and entertainment has been expanded with grateful thanks to Garry Flashman.
