Bembridge Rally 2024
The Isle of Wight's hidden eastern gem, Bembridge Harbour is a large, picturesque harbour within a SSSI and Special Protection Area. For those who want a short passage to a rally and the ability to catch up with clubmates this is the rally for you.
We will be holding a pontoon party followed by a BBQ in the marquee on site or you can buy a pizza from Duver Cafe. We have booked one of the large gas BBQs, you just need to bring your own food. Drinks will be available from Steve's bar.
Booking: basically, once you have booked on the HYC website you will then need to also book your boat onto the Bembridge Harbour website and you should please note their cancellation policy (see their Terms and Conditions).
This is how it works: first, book your boat and crew on the HYC website in the normal way.
Second, book your boat onto the Bembridge marina website https://www.bembridgeharbour.co.uk (Berthing / On-line booking) quoting our Rally Code of HL115. This has to be done by the closing date of 20th April, 3 weeks before our arrival date. During the online booking process, you will be asked to select either the Rally Rafting Area (on the outside of the main Duver pontoon for ease of access) or a Finger pontoon. Please be aware that Finger pontoons are available to all visitors and are therefore subject to availability - early booking is advisable and also see the note below about discounts. Please notify them in advance of any specific berthing needs.
All online bookings attract a discount of 5% off Bembridges standard tariff rate. In addition, a Rally Discount of a further 5% applies as this rally is taking place at an off-peak time but please note this is available only for the Rally Rafting Area, and not for finger berths.
A Duver Marina plan is available on the Harbour website, or see the Duver Marina Plan.
After the closing date, boats not yet booked, or additional boats wanting to join the Rally, will be welcome to book on an individual basis, but subject to berthing availability.
The Rally Code above covers only the dates of the booked Rally. Anyone wanting to arrive earlier or stay longer are very welcome and can make an online booking on their Customer Account (the system will automatically adjust for any relevant rally discount).
More information is available on the Bembridge Harbour website Rallies page including their BHA Visitor Terms and Conditions, with which, along with BHA General Terms and Conditions, all vessels must comply.
