Ryde harbour is a tidal harbour that dries out at low tide located just east of Ryde pier on the north east coast of the Isle of Wight. It was built in 1990 and has both pontoon and on the wall moorings and provides a wide range of facilities to visiting yachtsmen.

Dave the Harbour Master welcomes you  to the Ryde Harbour Website

The harbour has four main pontoons enclosed by a harbour arm, providing a sheltered haven for small craft. Berthing for larger craft and long keel yachts is provided on the harbour arm.  There is provision for 100 permanent berths and up to 100 visiting boats, the majority of which are family sailing and motor cruisers varying in length from five to twelve metres. A wide range of facilities and amenities are available for all craft, making it especially suitable for visiting families. The mooring fees are very competitive, thus making Ryde one of the best value for money places to stay on the south coast.

Most of the  boats visiting Ryde in the season return year after year, hence many of the crews get to know each other really well, thus making Ryde one of the friendliest harbours on the Solent.

Besides the boats, the harbour provides a sheltered haven for many types of birds. Shown here is an egret feeding at the harbour entrance on small fish flushed out the harbour by the ebbing tide.

Ryde Harbour at regatta time. This lasts for two days, with entertainment adjacent to the harbour and a grand firework display. This is Ryde Harbour at its busiest and is normally full to capacity that weekend.

Make sure you arrive a day or two before if you want to be sure of a berth at regatta time. Berths are allocated on a first come first served basis.

Although generally accommodating boats up to 12 metres in length, slightly larger vessels can be accommodated on the harbour arm wall.
