Mooring options
Falmouth Harbour Commissioners Visitors Yacht Haven is nearby. This provides pontoon berths with walk ashore into the centre of Falmouth. Cost for a boat under 10m £25.50 per night and over 10m £27.50. The Yacht Haven is 0.4NM from the Club slip or there is a water taxi service.
Falmouth marina (Premier Marinas) is a similar distance up-river from the Club.
Both marinas are a pleasant walk from the Club.
Falmouth Harbour Commissioners have only 19 green mooring bouys for visitors, some just off the Club on the fairway. If available these cost £16 per night for a boat under 10m and £19 for a boat over 10m.
There are limited options for anchoring in Falmouth Harbour near the Yacht Club. There is a designated anchoring zone between the docks and the Visitors Yacht Haven for which the Harbourmaster will extract a fee of ££8.50/£10.50 per night.
Sunday 8 July 2012
If the weather is fair we hope the President and Commodore will witness a ‘Sail Past’ followed by a barbeque at 13.00 on the beach to the South of St. Just Creek, hardware/heat courtesy of ‘Dawn 2’. Easy anchoring nearby – details from David Hubbard at .
