Emsworth Yacht Harbour

We have to apologise for the appalling service we are receiving from Biffa Waste Services and the overflowing bins. We are doing our best to get them here and the bins emptied but have been chasing them since last week and they continue to promise and not deliver. They have again promised to come today so fingers crossed.

Thanks to Bianca and Lizzie from The Final Straw Solent for organising and to everyone who turned out in support. Great to have the children here from Westbourne primary and The Petersfield School.

When you don't take your dog to work and she isn't happy....

Sounds like a great event. https://t.co/avEkrabtkd

We are at the SeaBin launch at @EYH1965 - fantastic to see it in action, collecting plastic waste from our local waters. Thank you guys for installing it! Thanks also to #ChichesterHarbourFederation! https://t.co/tKHwOq9ovb

Great to meet @FinalStrawSOL at @EYH1965 today for the launch of another @Seabin_project! It's all about the future of the oceans... Education and awareness is key - good to see local schoolkids involved. #SustainableDevelopment #plasticpollution https://t.co/dzdEBSBHlv

Good advice... https://t.co/uoz98coeY5

Scenes from Saturday ...

The Annual Summer Party took place this Saturday with glorious sunshine and the sound of ukeleles. Our thanks to Jacqui Davies, our C pontoon rep, who organised the music with some good folks from Portsmouth Music Academy and encouraged everyone to sing and play along. Paul and Chris from the BBQ Chef were there providing delicious hog roast and a kind berthholder even lent us his television so that we didn't miss out on the football.
Thanks to Lorna, Neil, James, Cliff, Jack, Nick and Ian for all their efforts in making the event such a success.

New 'Tide Gauges' are installed in the entrance.

i visited emsworth hayling island and havant over the last bank holiday. i was shocked at just how stunning the emsworh area was. i had a visit to this marina and had a light lunch at the cafe there. i ast for ages with a nice long cold drink and i just stared at the scenery . i am thinking of moving down here from saxthorpe so if anyone could give me some advice please feel free

Would like to say a big thank you to the lovely gentleman who called at my house today with an emsworth yacht harbour tee shirt on and kindly handed over our sons wallet that was lost there 3 weeks or so ago . To think it was found at the bottom of the sea in the harbour is a miracle. once again thank you so much

We try and keep 'our' Emsworth to ourselves, lovely place to live.

We love EYH..allways a great welcome!!great staff...beautifull setting#

The most beautiful, calming place on a sunny day.

Small villiage in stunning waterfront setting. Great for dog walking or just strolling harbour, marina millpond and town.

Relaxed and friendly atmosphere and easy parking.

One of the prettiest places I love it here �

Me to one heavenly place.and love the blue sky birds and more. Moon on the water.

Lovely place, friendly stalf, good bistro on site and a nice walk into Emsworth.

Lovely place and great people to deal with

Well recommended :)

It's my hometown, it's one of my most very special places in the world. I love bringing my children, nieces and nephews here, just like my parents and grandparents did with me as a child �

I can't wait to go back in one of the summer weekends I love it

Home from home adore emsworth always hve always will

Gorgeous harbour. Lovely day out walking in the sunshine.

Cold day but lovely to walk around the harbour.

Great to see the old cottages by the Waters edge then warm up with a coffee in one of the coffee shops.

Best marina in the south and all the people are very friendly!

A great, friendly place with excellent facilities and a superb restaurant. Try the Yurts! They are very special and offer glamping with a unique atmosphere.

great place to have fish and chips on a warm summer evening

Peaceful were it not for the hoards of visitors
