Bridport Harbour is a small harbour settlement and resort on the English Channel coast in Dorset, England, sited at the mouth of the River Brit approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Bridport, 15 miles west of Dorchester at the western end of Chesil Beach.

The harbour presents a 10-metre-wide slipway where you can launch at any state of the tide. Please note that launching with south easterly winds can be difficult so you should check with the harbour staff when these occur as the slipway could be closed

Visitors should contact the Harbourmaster when planning their passage to confirm depth available. We can accommodate vessels of up to 10m with depth of up to 2m.

Radio: VHF channel 16, working channel 11.

Visiting fishing boats and commercial vessels can berth by the East Pier.

Visiting leisure craft can berth against the pontoon that has been provided, which runs up through the middle of the harbour. 

Quayside car parking is available, there is a large area at the top of the slipway for people launching on the slipway to store their trailer. The slipway area will store approximately 100 trailers.

The harbour is seen as an attractive place to visit and stay, making it a popular port of call. 

The harbour has 163 drying moorings with the majority let for private use. There are 24 commercial moorings for either fishing vessels or passenger vessels carrying fewer than 12 people. 

Fishing trips are available in the summer, including deep sea fishing. Boats can also be hired to row up the River Brit towards Bridport.
