Commercial Moorings

Pontoon and moorings:
One of the original criteria of the Haven was to provide a safe haven from which the local shellfish industry could operate from. Prior to the completion of the Haven, fishing vessels worked from Ventnor Beach.

Fishing was limited, not by the boats capability to withstand big seas, but by the ability to launch each day from a surf beach. During winter swells, fishing would grind to a halt as boats were stuck on the beach for weeks.

Ventnor Haven improves the efficiency of the local shellfish industry and with the construction of the new Fish Pier, it is hoped will compliment the tourist industry.

Pontoon and moorings are available for commercial vessels on a short and long term basis.  For allocation, please contact the Harbour Supervisor on 07076 009 260.
