Visiting Us
Visiting vessels
Before entering the harbour, please contact the Harbour Office for berthing advice using call sign "WEYMOUTH HARBOUR" on VHF channel 12.
If arriving during 'silent hours', please follow our berthing guidance map in the Useful Information section at the bottom of this page.
Most of our visitor berths here in Weymouth are alongside floating pontoons, so you'll find a vibrant and friendly community atmosphere awaits you! If you have any special requirements please let us know and we'll try our best to accomodate you.
Visitor bookings can be taken in advance: they will be available from midday and need to be vacated before midday the following day/on scheduled day of departure. Please complete the form via the link below if you would like to make a booking:
