The River Hamble
The river Hamble is a beautiful location steeped in history and is Internationally Famous as the Premier home of Yachting on the South Coast of England. The Hamble has been a boat building centre for centuries and two very famous wrecks can be found here, the “Grace Dieu” King Henry V’s Navy Vessel and more recently found is the “Holigost” both lying on the upper reaches of the Hamble.
The Hamble is nature lovers dream location and an internationally important nature conservation site, popular with Bird Watchers, due to the variety of different species that can be seen here all year round.
The River Hamble Harbour Authority can be found as you enter the Hamble on your Starboard side and operates on Channel 68 “Hamble Harbour Radio” They can also be contacted on 01489 576387 or the mobile patrol team on mobile 07718 146380. Harbour dues are payable for vessels with an engine of over 10hp and payment can be made at the Harbour Masters Office (via a walk on pontoon), or direct from the Mobile Patrol Team.
There is a speed limit of 6 knots just prior to the Hamble Point South Cardinal, marking the entrance to the river and tidal stream can at times run in excess of 3 knots on the Spring ebb, which can cause large waves, wind against tide.
