Harbour dues, moorings and facilities

The River Hamble Harbour Authority is financed solely from the collection of Harbour Dues which is collected from all River users. Dues are collected from marinas, boatyards and yacht clubs, boats launched on slipways, dry stacked and dry sailed.

Vessels that do not have to pay Harbour Dues are ‘vessels propelled by paddle or oars'.

The Harbour Authority make available a limited number of visitor moorings which are midstream at Warsash and walk ashore moorings both at Warsash and Hamble.

The Harbour Authority manages 600 mid-stream moorings on behalf of The Crown Estate. The management of The Crown Estate Moorings includes maintaining a waiting list and allocating moorings as and when they become vacant.
