Boat Club Events Calendar

These powerboat refresher courses are a great opportunity for our Boat Club Trafalgar members to do just that – refresh your skills.

The sessions are run with a qualified RYA Powerboat Instructor and can include things boat handling, manoeurving, Man Over Board, parking, or any powerboating skills that you wish to practice.

Even if you have already done your RYA Powerboat Level 2, it can sometimes help to do one of these sessions at the beginning of the season just to regain a bit of confidence.

We have a  few dates on offer. Please book in below.

Join our members guided fishing trips for a day of finding the best places to find fish. All equipment, tackle and bait is supplied.

Our expert fishing guide will give you top tips on your fishing skills and technique and ensure you have a brilliant day on the water.  You’ll get to keep all you catch too.

Our guided trips cost £30 per head with up to four people.

Join in and meet other members too. Or it’s an excellent day out for a group of friends.  

To the East of Portsmouth lies the two harbours of Langstone and Chichester. Both stunning in different ways. Langstone is home of Farlington Marshes (great for bird watching), striking views of the South Downs and has a variety of creeks and marshes to explore.

Chichester Harbour is an AONB (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) – the name says it all. You can anchor up off East Head beach, a popular summertime destination. Or explore the harbours four main channels – up to Emsworth, Prinsted, Bosham and Dell Quay, via Itchenor and Birdham.

Both these harbours are accessed via a fairly narrow, well marked channel, with strong tides running. So not dissimilar to entering Portsmouth Harbour.

Visiting the picturesque, bustling Bembridge Harbour is like taking a step back in time. The harbour is packed with sailing boats, working fishing boats and the shores are lined with funky house boats. The Harbour is a site of special scientific interest, and the Brading Marshes home to many species of birds.

Nearby, Priory Bay is one of the best beaches to visit by boat, and Seaview is a particularly beautiful Edwardian resort village. With the Seaview Hotel and local yacht club it’s another Island gem.

Beaulieu River is one of few privately owned rivers in the UK. Carefully conserved and under-developed, it’s a stunning haven to visit by boat.

It has remained unspoilt and similar to how it was hundreds of years ago, with a discreet marina and modern facilities.

You’ll get to see the historic village at Buckler’s Hard, once an 18th century centre of shipbuilding, where ships were built for Nelson’s Navy.

If you have time top up to see the Maritime Museum to discover the history of this fascinating village. Or explore the reconstructed cottage interiors to experience what life would have been like in the 18th century.

Come and join us and other members for a trip to East Head, the boaters beach just inside Chichester Harbour.

Many people drive to West Wittering beach, but for those ‘in the know’ we go by boat to East Head. A place that’s not frequented by the car drivers.

This sandy beach changes shape each year due to the power of the winds and tides. It’s a fragile nature reserve and an important part of Chichester Harbour’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  You have spectacular views of the Harbour, the South Downs, Hayling Island and the Solent.

We’ll anchor up and go ashore, where you can walk around East Head on and the boardwalk to West Wittering, and we’ll have a picnic on the beach.
