Studland Bay No Anchor Zone

On 17th December 2021 the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) introduced an Interim Voluntary No Anchor Zone off South Beach. From 1st June 2022 the zone was extended North and Eastwards. The MMO will consider By-Laws banning anchoring together if boaters do not comply.

87 Eco Mooring Buoys are now in place as of May 2024 at a standard charge of £10. Google "Studland Bay Marine Partnership" for more informationand how to pay.

Portland Port Harbour Dues

It is a requirement that ALL vessels OPERATING within Portland Harbour pay Port & Harbour Dues. A Harbour Master rib may pay you a visit if you are at anchor, but Harbour Dues are included in Marina berthing fees or boatyard use etc. For rates and more details see the Portland Port Website.

Unfortunately for reasons beyond our control we missed the deadline for applications for the WSC Concession rate for 2024 season, whereby you pay the weekly rate for a 1 year. It works out that you can have 3 visits for the same price of what the concessional rate would be!
