Portsmouth Harbour Master
Tel:+44(0)23 92723124
This is one of the U.K.'s principal Naval Harbours and dockyards, and as such, it has a long history. It is controlled by The Queen's Harbour Master (QHM) who is a Naval Officer, and not by a Port Authority.
The entrance to this large and sheltered harbour, is narrow and very busy with all types of craft, including navy boats and ferries. Yachts must have their engines on while transiting this entrance and strictly keep to the small boat channel. Craft over 20m must obtain permission to enter or move about in the harbour (call VFH channel 11).
There are several marinas within the harbour and a large number of swinging, as well as drying moorings. The upper reaches of the harbour are shallow.
Beware of the ferries crossing east/west just inside the entrance.
