Yours to be Discovered

Located in Hamworthy on the north western edge of Poole Harbour, Lake Yard has a marina dock, boatyard, club house and restaurant in one of the most stunningly beautiful places on the planet. Close to the mouth of the River Frome and with the Sandbanks peninsula in the background, the marina looks out across all five of the harbour’s islands.

It’s all about the Boats

Lake Yard’s marina benefits from deep water access at all tidal states and is best suited to motor boats. The pontoon berths are rented on an annual basis but we also have a large visitor berth and occasional short term pontoon berths available.

Just outside the entrance to the marina are 99 swinging moorings suitable for craft of varying length and draft.

As well as the marina and moorings, Lake Yard has a fully equipped boat yard offering a full range of services including boat lifting and craning.

Haven Information

Parkstone Yacht Club Haven has 232 deep water berths for members.

Visitor berths are available when Haven berth holders go away. Berthing fees are very reasonable and naturally the Yacht Club provides all the expected facilities of showers, bar & restaurant.

General Information

Storage of boats and equipment.

Boats: Each boat must have her name or the name of the owner on the transom or stern. Boats left covered so that their name is obscured must have their name on the cover.

Equipment: Masts, spars, oars and gear stored on the Club premises must be clearly marked with the name of the boat or owner. This includes boat trailers, trolleys and cradles.

Dinghy Moorings on Pontoons

No dinghy exceeding 4.8m total length (including all overhangs & outboard motor or rudder) may be moored on the Haven pontoons. The maximum length for A Pontoon & L Pontoon is 4.2m. The maximum length for K Pontoon is 4.8m.

When berthed on a pontoon they must be properly secured so as not to cause damage with any protruding gear or fittings removed or brought inboard. If an outboard engine is left in an elevated position it must have the propeller and drive shaft structure covered to avoid causing damage to adjacent or manoeuvring craft.” (Bye Law D10.3)

Moorings are allocated as vacancies occur from the current applications list by seniority of Membership. Mooring licence fees and harbour dues are paid to the Harbour Master. The Club has an agreement with the Harbour Commissioners to pay members’ fees and dues in bulk on commission and these will be charged to Members’ accounts. The mooring licence fee will be charged automatically without written authority.

Yacht Haven Waiting List

The Club operates a waiting list for berths within the Haven. A refundable deposit of £1,000.00 is required. This is only available to Voting Members who fall within the Membership Categories of Rule 6 & Byelaw D3.2.

When a member wishes to bring a boat to the Club, or dispose of his boat, he must inform the General Manager. When the boat is sold to a non-member of the Club, the member selling his boat is liable to the Club for all expenses incurred until the boat is removed from the Club premises. If a boat stored at the Club is sold through a broker, the Club is entitled to a portion of the commission charged by that broker. The practice of buying and selling for profit or business boats kept or repaired on Club premises is prohibited.

The Club insurance policy does not cover members’ boats, gear or property on the Club premises, on pontoons or moorings or on pontoon berths in the Haven. They are entirely at members’ own risk.Members must insure their boats, gear and property against fire and other risks while in store and risk of damage whilst being hauled up, launched, and on moorings and pontoon berths. The General Committee strongly recommends that all boats shall be covered by Insurance against third party liability to a minimum of £3,000,000.

SWINGING MOORINGS & JET SKI/RIB DOCKS

SWINGING MOORINGS

Swinging moorings are available for hire each season from 1st April until the end of October. Harbour Dues, Crown Estate charges, and car parking at the Port of Poole Marina are all included, as well as a free water taxi to take you out to your boat (weather & daylight dependent).

With a swinging mooring you can relax in the serene surroundings of Poole Harbour, overlooking Brownsea Island, and watch the sun go down.

Our moorings are competitively priced and can accommodate vessels of up to 20 metres in length. We have 15 moorings in the Wych Channel, close to the shellfish barge just off the northernmost tip of Brownsea Island.

Please see our tariff page for prices. A small tender may be kept at the Port of Poole Marina for ease of access to your mooring, at a small extra charge.

As a swinging mooring customer you have full use of the shower and toilet facilities, and you are welcome to bring your vessel in to use our pump out and top up with drinking water when required.

Tender Storage Available - Please contact us for more information.

Jet Ski & RIB docks Swi

At Poole Quay Boat Haven and the Port of Poole Marina we have a number of jet docks which can accommodate jet skis and RIBs or boats of up to 6 metres in length. Keeping your vessel on a jet dock has the advantage of ‘out of water storage’ but still offers the convenience of marina berthing and reduces the need for antifouling.

Jet docks are available for annual hire. Occasionally we are able to offer short term or even overnight use of our jet dock facilities.

For more information or to discuss your specific needs please contact us.

Please visit our tariff page for information on pricing.

Just paid my 2008 - swinging mooring in Poole with free water taxi - £1000 for a 41' - not bad! How does it compare with elsewhere?  

Well-known member

About the same in Plymouth..... So that looks pretty good for Poole.  

Lot cheaper than Chichester.  

steviewhitts

£600 for trot mooring for 28' in Plymouth ........ no water taxi though!! So (as Doug said) ...... about the same. Steve  

john_morris_uk

We end up paying about £500 plus or minus for a trot mooring on the Tamar. Our friends up the river a mile or two pay less than £200 but have to self maintain. No water taxi at either spot.  

Castle Marinas, the new owners of Birdham Pool in Chichester Harbour (previously owned by Brian Peters) have advised berth holders of a 20% increase for the coming year, citing it's still good value and comparable with other marinas in the Harbour it terms of value, albeit with limited facilities. Thought the days of "money grabbing b......." was past, but not so sure  

£602 for a swinging mooring for a 40 - 45 footer in the Hamble, but without the free water taxi.  

Active member

Mid river pontoon about £600 for my 27'. Water Taxi extra  

Just had our bill in from Haslar /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Any more swinging moorings around?  

Endeavourquay

£1000 for swinging with free watertaxi off Gosport, or £3500 (07) for pontoon both for 26ft boat  

[ QUOTE ] Any more swinging moorings around? [/ QUOTE ] Yup - we will be laying 40 moorings this Spring. Cost - about £500 - £600 for a nine year lease, plus an annual service charge of about £80.  

Free on a trailer in our drive /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif  

KINGFISHER 8

Gosport swinging mooring with all year water taxi ... 33' boat = £1350 (I think).  

£350 for trot mooring in Southampton Water up to 32'. Maximum draft to stay afloat 1.5m. No water taxi but dinghy storage about 300m from trots  

Twister_Ken

£600 plus shrapnel for haemorrhoids on the 'amble. Nearly as much again to MDL to keep a 7 foot tender ashore.  

Rustyknight

Sounds cheap..... is it a Yacht club mooring?  

Don't know what is is now but about 5 years ago Findhorn swinging self laid mooring was £25 / year...  

jamesjermain

£250 for a 10m serviced swinging mooring on the Tamar. Could be less if I did more Boat Watch duty. No water taxi but only 50m from my home  

Erm... about a grand and a half for a 22 footer on the Beaulieu River. About 1/2 metre of water at LWS, no taxi service and about an hour down river to the Solent. Yes I know; I'm absolutely barking. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif  

Self laid deep water mooring 18 foot minimum depth at low water springs for 27 foot boat in the upper reaches of the River Fal £104 or there abouts.....
