On the Water
Welcome
Chichester Harbour with 11 square miles of water, 17 miles of well marked and lit channels and with easy access to the Solent, is an ideal water recreation centre. The Harbour has nearly 3,800 moorings, 2,000 berths in six marinas and 14 sailing clubs.
The harbour is self-financing from harbour dues which may be paid on an annual, weekly or daily basis to the Harbour Office or to the patrol staff afloat or at sailing clubs around the harbour. It is essential that once you have bought your plaque, it is displayed on your boat.
Check the navigation information and local notices to mariners and harbour byelaws before entering Chichester Harbour. The Harbour Patrol are on duty throughout the summer months and maintain a VHF radio watch on Channel 14 during office hours throughout the year.
Ferry services run from Itchenor and Emsworth to take you to your moorings or if you don't have your own boat why not try one of the boat trips available in Chichester Harbour.
We hope you enjoy your visit to Chichester Harbour. If you have any questions, please do get in contact with us.
