Explore Poole Harbour with Sail Poole Harbour 
The graphic on the right shows some of the destinations. Our cruising grounds are the whole of Poole harbour, from Wareham in the west to the harbour mouth in the east. Outside the harbour, there is the ever popular destination of Studland Bay.

For the 2021 season we are offering two handover options:
Handover option 1:
Lake Yard (www.lakeyard.co.uk)
At Lake Yard Skate sits on a mooring buoy which you would have access to for the entirety of your charter.  
  • quiet with direct access to the harbour
  • mooring buoy available for the entirety of your charter
  • free parking
  • onsite restaurant
  • showers and toilets
  • inclusive weekend water taxi
  • not walk ashore
  • during the week there is a fee for the water taxi, or use Skate's dinghy
  • The first part of the handover would be completed ashore (charts and safety etc) with the remainder onboard at the mooring. The handback would be ashore after you have left Skate on the mooring.

Handover option 2
Poole Quay Boat Haven (www.poolequayboathaven.co.uk)
Poole Quay Boat Haven is the premier visitor marina for Poole Harbour. You would have a marina berth for the first night of your charter. 
  • busy marina with direct access to the harbour
  • shops, restaurants and cafes right next to the marina
  • Tesco directly opposite the marina for supplies
  • showers and toilets
  • walk ashore
  • can get very busy
  • you need to pay for parking (approx £10 per day in 'Quay Visitors')
  • first night included in charter
  • subsequent nights would need pre-booking 
  • The handover would be completed on the pontoon and in the cockpit
  • return Skate to the short stay pontoons for the handback
