The Royal Southern Yacht Club is based on the West side of the Hamble River, at the foot of Hamble village High Street. Less than a mile South, and you are into Southampton Water, with the Solent and the Isle of Wight beyond.
The Club offers extensive facilities to members, guests and visitors, ranging from the clubhouse with its bars, restaurant and bedrooms, to the comprehensive onshore and afloat berthing, storage etc covered by this guide.
Visitor Berths for Yachts and RIBS
There are a number of berths that are allocated for the use of visitors and of members who do not have a club mooring.
To book a berth in advance please email:- haven@royal-southern.co.uk or bosun@royal-southern.co.uk. If you wish to enquire about a berth on the day please call the Duty Bosun on 07900 872461.
To assist you in locating your berth a plan can be found above.
Please note:
- The bosuns may also allocate visitors to other berths that are temporarily vacant.
- Members who do not have a club berth in the Prince Philip Yacht Haven may use the visitor berths to set down and pick up passengers / crew and baggage without charge provided the visit is not for more than 1 hour.
- On weekdays members may moor for up to 4 hours without charge if lunching at the club. While mooring free of charge members may take on water to fill tanks but should not wash down boats. Longer visits by members and visits by non-members are subject to arrangement with the bosuns and are at the standard tariff.
- Double banking on some of the visitor berths is possible but must not obstruct access; triple berthing is not allowed.
- Visitors who have berthed overnight must leave the berth by 11:00am on the day they are leaving or they will be charged for a further period.
- The bosuns will direct use of the visitor facilities; the bosuns’ instructions must be followed.
- On race days and at other busy times mooring may need to be restricted and notices will be posted to this effect.
Use of club’s pontoons, moorings, dry berths, slipway, crane, dinghies, tenders and launches is subject to the by-laws of the club and to the Waterside Regulations.
In the case of a conflict between the by-laws and the Waterside Regulations, the by-laws shall take precedence.
