Weymouth and Portland - Docking
Berthing – Weymouth Rafting up is usually on the visitors’ pontoons in the outer harbour as many cruisers stop here to await a favourable tide round Portland Bill or head for its shelter after the long haul across Lyme Bay.
Visitors are requested to call VHF 12 ‘Weymouth Harbour’ before approaching the entrance and they will then be allocated a berth.
Boats up to 10m berth on the south side of the harbour (the Cove) and those over 10m berth on the north side, opposite the Lifeboat station. Motorboats moor by the Harbour office. If over 18m, advance warning is advisable.
Water and electricity are available on the pontoons on both sides of the harbour. Toilets and showers are at the Harbour office.
Access to Weymouth marina is via a lifting bridge – traffic lights must be obeyed even when bridge is down. Do not pass under bridge if 3 red lights are showing. There is a waiting pontoon by the bridge.
All boats must move at ‘Dead Slow’ speed in the harbour.
Berthing – Portland A new marina has been constructed on the northern side of this huge harbour.
Anchoring In settled weather, there is plenty of room to anchor in Weymouth Bay north of the Weymouth harbour entrance.
