Washrooms and Showers

Town Quay - Located adjacent to the visitor pontoon. A PIN code is required to gain access and can be obtained through your booking confirmation or from harbour staff.

Dan Bran Pontoon - Visitors to our Dan Bran pontoon have access to the Lymington Town Sailing Club changing rooms (including washrooms/shower). A PIN code is required to gain access and can be obtained through your booking confirmation or from harbour staff.  

Free Wi-Fi internet access is available at the Town Quay, Harbour Master and Dan Bran visitor pontoons. The access code is available thorough your booking confirmation or from harbour staff. 

Waste Disposal

Facilities for yachtsmen's landed waste are provided at various landing points around the harbour to help you dispose of your waste responsibly.

Lymington Harbour Commissioners provide waste disposal and glass recycling facilities at the bridge head to the Dan Bran pontoon and in a separate bin store within the visitor washroom building at Town Quay. The latter requires a key code to gain access, which is available through your booking confirmation or from harbour staff.  

Lymington Harbour Commissioners encourage all vessels to segregate their waste and recycle where possible.

International Catering Waste

Your food waste (and anything contaminated by the waste, for example a milk carton) is considered ICW if your vessel (except fishing vessels) has travelled from outside the territorial waters (12 nautical miles) of the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man, even if you stocked up for the entire journey in the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man. In order to prevent outbreaks of notifiable diseases like foot and mouth disease you are required to dispose of this waste separately from domestic, general waste. If you need to dispose of ICW please let the Harbour Office know. We will provide you with a bin bag which we would ask you to seal the ICW in. Please give the sealed bag to one of our River Staff who will take it to a separate container for specialist disposal or you may bring it to the yard by appointment. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sewage Discharge & Pump Out Facilities

The water quality of the Lymington River estuary is extremely important to Lymington Harbour Commission and it is an offence under the Lymington Harbour 2014 General Directions to discharge pollutants into the harbour.

When in the harbour, crew of moored craft without holding tanks should use the shore side washroom facilities provided. For boats with holding tanks, a sewage pump out facility is available at the Lymington Yacht Haven refuelling berth - call 01590 677071. 

Further information and education on the harmful effects discharging sewage is available HERE .

Payment can be made to harbour staff (if present), at the adjacent Harbour Office, by scanning the QR code on the charges sign on the slipway, or by clicking on the link below.

Free parking

One of the few places in Lymington where you can find free parking. You can admire the yachts or access the paths along the Solent, or spend time at the Haven café or restaurant.

Hi MouseHerts, Thanks for your kind review! Just to clarify, yes we do offer free parking for marina customers or customers at the Haven Bar & Restaurant only. Look forward to seeing you back here soon. Jonathan Yacht Havens

Staying overnight in Lymington, Tobi (at Britannia House) recommended the Yacht Haven for fresh fish. His recommendation was well placed! We strolled along the quayside in beautiful late October sunshine, grabbed a bottle of Albarino, and sat on the terrace balcony on their lovely comfy chairs, watching the boats and the world in general. The afternoon drifted lazily by, and we decided to brig forward our dinner booking (not a problem at all) to sit inside and enjoy the fire... the menu is extensive and packed with beautiful dishes, but we were extremely fortunate to be there when turbot was on the menu! We (two of us) shared a huge fish - incredibly fresh, tasty and the absolutely perfect romantic dish for two to share. Covered in samphire and delicious shrimp, served with a (big!) side salad and a bucket - yes, bucket - of fries, we took our time eating such a wonderful meal. (Initially, our starters were equally wonderful). I can thoroughly recommend the Yacht Haven on all counts - furnishing and ambience, location, service, food... you should go there!

I stayed at Lymington Yacht Haven last week and the facilities were second to none. More like a 5 star hotel than a marina. I thought it couldn't get better, then I got home and found I had lost my shaver. One call to the marina and they had it sent back to me - I am in awe of this organisation. Highly recommended if your cruising the south coast.

Dear Skip-Pete, Thank you for taking the time to review Lymington Yacht Haven. We're really blown away by your kind comments regarding both our facilities and the service you received. In fact, I've printed this review out and put it on our staff noticeboard as I'm extremely proud of the team (Andrew especially) for delivering a service like this! Look forward to welcoming you back again, Jonathan Yacht Havens

Went to the Haven for a snack and had one of the best bacon sandwiches ever! Loads of filling! The staff were very pleasant and all the tables were nicely laid out with attractive vases and jugs of flowers.

Masrked public footpath will take you to Solent WAy. It is marked but you turn left when in marina. surface to footpath is good for cycling, walking etc. If v windy there are steps down to a lower.path

We moored here for the night in August as a family of 5 on a 32' yacht. You do need to book ahead for summer weekends but it is well worth it. The facilities are second to none, like a very good gym/hotel. Located a short walk from the town and all the amenities too. Staff are friendly and helpful too. We'll definitely return.

Dear C_Rossiter, Thank you for taking the time to review Lymington Yacht Haven and we're delighted you had such a wonderful stay with us! You are absolutely correct - booking it definitely recommended, especially for weekends in the summer! Thanks again for your very kind words about our facilities, we're very proud of them Look forward to welcoming to again soon Jonathan Yacht Havens
