WELCOME TO PLYMOUTH YACHT HAVEN

Plymouth Yacht Haven is located on the historic Mount Batten peninsula. From 1917 until recently, Mount Batten was in the hands of the RAF, gaining worldwide fame during the Second World War as a base for flying boats.
Located in Clovelly Bay, at the mouth of the Cattewater, the marina is sheltered from the prevailing south westerly winds yet is only minutes from one of England's finest natural harbours, Plymouth Sound. From here the choice is yours, a day's sailing to Salcombe, Fowey, Torquay or Dartmouth; a longer passage taking in Falmouth, Penzance and on to the Isles of Scilly; the Channel Islands or to the north and west coast of France. Deep water throughout the marina allows freedom at all states of tide. In rough weather, Plymouth Sound and local rivers allow for hours of sheltered scenic sailing.
Within easy reach of the marina are many beautiful coastal walks, a golf course and, just a short stroll away, a fitness centre with a heated swimming pool. Also available is a water taxi to take berth holders to a multitude of shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife to enjoy within the historic atmosphere in the cobbled streets of the Barbican.
A short walk across Plymouth Hoe gives access to one of the major shopping centres in the southwest along with a host of tourist attractions for those days when sailing is not an option.
The new marina has berths for 450 vessels with a mixture of finger and alongside berths. It is possible for us to cater for vessels up to 45 metres in length and 7 metres in draft. All berths offer electricity and water services. Visitors are welcome at any time. Please call on VHF channels 37 and 80 - Plymouth Yacht Haven. Our friendly and helpful staff provide cover for the marina 24 hours a day.
Visiting boats are welcome at Plymouth Yacht Haven where space permits. Please telephone or call on channel 37 or 80 to request a berth. Berthing is payable in advance and berths should be vacated by noon on the day of departure. You will need the present day's gate code to re-enter the marina.

HOW TO GET HERE

BY ROAD: From A38 follow signs to Plymouth City centre, turning off the A38 at roundabout. Take the A374. After about 1/2 mile get in the right hand lane in order to take the road for Kingsbridge (A379). This takes you across Laira Bridge where you will see the first signs for Mount Batten and Turnchapel. After the bridge, at the first roundabout, turn right then carry straight on until you arrive at a set of traffic lights. Turn right and then go straight through the second set of lights. Keep on this road (approx 11/2 miles) until you come to a roundabout. Turn right into Plymouth Yacht Haven.

BY SEA: Plymouth Sound can be entered via the Western or Eastern channels which are well lit and buoyed with no real hazards. There is not less than 3.7 metres of depth at MLWS and therefore navigable by most yachts at all states of tide.
Head for the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club situated on Plymouth Hoe. Once the Mount Batten Breakwater is passed to starboard, follow the Cattewater channel, where you will see Plymouth Yacht Haven on your starboard side.
The visitor pontoon is clearly marked at the western end. If you require a berth this can be allocated over the VHF or telephone.
