For centuries Weymouth Harbour has been central to the life of the town.
From fishing fleets and trading vessels to naval activity and seaside tourism, the harbour has always been a place of movement and enterprise.
Nestled along the stunning Dorset coastline lies Weymouth, a town where history and charm meet the beauty of the sea. Famous for its golden sandy beaches and historic Georgian seafront, Weymouth is a treasure trove of maritime history and coastal delights. As you stroll along the esplanade, the echoes of the past blend seamlessly with the vibrant present, offering an array of cafes, shops, and street performances that bring the waterfront to life. The bustling harbour, with its fishing boats and yachts, paints a picturesque scene, inviting you to explore further.
Fishing boats once filled the harbour, while merchant vessels transported goods and passengers across the Channel to France and the Channel Islands.
In the late 18th century King George III began visiting Weymouth regularly.
His presence helped establish Weymouth as one of Britain’s earliest seaside resorts.
Today Weymouth Harbour continues as a working port, shared by fishermen, leisure craft and visiting vessels.
Heritage cruises now offer a new way to experience its long maritime story.
Weymouth and Portland were instrumental in the D-Day landings, serving as critical departure points for Allied forces. The area’s strategic importance was unparalleled, providing a gateway for troops heading to Normandy’s beaches. This cruise offers a unique perspective on the monumental efforts that shaped the course of history.
