Yarmouth Harbour
Yarmouth Harbour sits right at the gateway to the West Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a great base if you want to explore one of the island's most scenic corners. Over 150 visitor berths are allocated daily by the Berthing Masters on arrival, though you can reserve a spot in advance if you'd rather not chance it. It's a friendly, unhurried harbour with the charming town of Yarmouth — think castle ruins, waterfront pubs, and easy ferry connections — just steps from the dock.
