BEAULIEU RIVER National Park, Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour offers a unique location for short stays and welcomes visiting vessels. The masters of vessels arriving inside the limits of the river are expected to report to the Harbour Master upon arrival, (ch68 BEAULIEU RIVER Beaulieu River radio, or by phone 01590 616200). All commercial vessels and any vessel over 20m in length are required to contact Beaulieu River Radio on channel 68 when approaching the limits of the river. The harbour speed limit is 5 knots from the entrance and for the entire length of the river. Visitors are welcome to enter the marina at any time, day or night. There is increased walk ashore visitor berthing available in the redeveloped marina, with berths available for visiting vessels up to 25m in length. Berths for overnight visitors can be reserved in advance, subject to availability. Alternatively, you can pick up one of our visitor moorings marked with a yellow “V” plate, but please note a dinghy will be required to get ashore. Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour is an unspoilt haven, rich in history and wildlife, ideal as a base for exploring the Solent and the Channel. Situated on the beautiful Beaulieu River, the Yacht Harbour is only 25 minutes from the M27 motorway. Awarded five gold anchors, Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour was awarded Marina of the Year at the prestigious British Yachting Awards 2022, being recognised for providing the warmest welcome and best facilities for visiting sailors. Safe, traditional and friendly, there are a range of berths available on the river and within the marina. Full marina services and facilities are available, including a 40 tonne hoist, open policy boat yard as well as a refurbished shower and toilet block and a launderette. There is also a chandlery, stocking a wide variety of provisions, supplies, hardware, outboards and dinghies, as well as on site marine engineers. A unique location for short stay visitors, overnight berths and permanent moorings, experience tranquillity and stunning natural beauty on the Beaulieu River - where the New Forest meets the Solent. *Depths will vary slightly and are affected by atmospheric pressure. It is always recommended to carry out tidal calculations if you are unsure as to whether you will have enough water when entering the river.
