Navigational MattersFor those who have not been into Bembridge recently please be advised of the Notice to Mariners dated 29th February 2006, in which it advises to keep well clear of the new Wightlink Ferry terminal and berth which has been constructed on the site of the old St Helens fort. Also note that is is not possible to navigate between the old St Helens fort and the Bembridge beach due to the new causeway and access road to the new ferry terminal.
BerthingBerths will be reserved at the Duver Marina which is on the starboard side of the channel aprox. Half way down the harbour. Look out for other Legends and berth nearby
