Noticeboard
Harbour Speed Limits
Mariners are advised there is a speed limit of :
- 4 knots over the ground in the River Yar and inner Harbour area, and
- 6 knots over the ground from the entrance dolphin at the breakwater to the outer Harbour limits
Instances of speeding by craft within the Harbour limits and in particular by powerboats between the East Fairway buoy and the pier have been increasing. Safety concerns are not limited to those on the water; there is also a considerable risk to people embarking or disembarking from craft caused by excessive wash from such vessels.
Speed limits were introduced to promote safety of users within Harbour limits and help protect the local environment by reducing the excessive wash by the faster/larger vessels.
Speed limit notices are prominently displayed; mariners should adhere to these limits and Harbour Master's directions regarding safe speeds.
A speeding policy has been introduced in Yarmouth (Isle of Wight) Harbour and administered by the Harbour Master and his staff. Owners or operators of craft exceeding the speed limits will be liable to prosecution.

Western Yar Swing Bridge
On 1st January 2010 a new operating procedure for the Western Yar Swing Bridge came into force. If you plan to transit the bridge you will need to be aware of this new procedure; a copy is available to download through the link below. We hope these new procedures will help ease the traffic flow through the main fairway around bridge opening times and make using the bridge a little less stressful for all.
