Visiting Yachtsmen who are members of a recognised Yacht Club are very welcome. You may use the Club's moorings and launch service, subject to availability and payment of fees (see below). In addition you may use the Club's bar and catering facilities. Boats up to 10 tonnes / 40' can be accepted (at owner's risk). Do check your draft clearance at low spring tides.
You can book a mooring by calling the office (01983 613268). Tables for dining can be booked via the Club.
As you approach please contact the Club by radio 'Sea View Boatmen' on channel M2 (P4 on an Icom). Pay for the mooring at the bar and present your receipt to the boatman on your return journey.
The charge is £20.00 per night (11am to 11am) or £10 for a short stay
The boatman service operates daily from 18th April 09:30 to 16:30 hrs. At weekends, starting from the Late May Bank Holiday, the launch service will be available until 1830 hrs. This extended service will cease after the August Bank Holiday weekend.
From mid July to the end of August the boatmen will also operate during weekdays until the later of either (a) the end of Club racing or (b) 1900.
A few Club Rules
Personal buoyancy It is highly recommended that those using Club boats wear adequate personal buoyancy. Failing to wear adequate personal buoyancy is done so at their own risk.

Longer Stays with WarrenBoats
For members wishing to moor for more than 7 days in a season, the Club has a long-standing partnership with WarrenBoats, who provide longer-term moorings for boats under 5 tonnes. Their moorings are located inside the line of the Mermaid moorings and offer flexible options for extended stays.
You can contact WarrenBoats directly via their website to arrange longer-term mooring or discuss your requirements in advance.
Mooring Terms and Conditions
To ensure fair access for all members and compliance with our Joint Operations Agreement with WarrenBoats, use of Club moorings by boats under 5 tonnes is limited to 7 days per season. Should this limit be exceeded, penalty charges will apply as follows:
- Days 8-14: £20 per night (non-member rate)
- Days 15 and beyond: £40 per night
The Club takes breaches of these terms seriously. Continued overstays may result in the refusal of access to Club visitor moorings in future seasons. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain fair and enjoyable access to our facilities for all members.
