Service Description: Newport Harbour is a small leisure harbour situated at the navigable head of the River Medina, some 5 miles south from the port of Cowes. The harbour is close to the centre of Newport, County Town of the Isle of Wight, and as you would expect a broad range of facilities are available nearby including shops, chemists and restaurants. The harbour dries out completely at low water. Public transport is readily available to other parts of the island, making Newport Harbour an ideal destination for the sailing family. The harbour staff are committed to running a safe and friendly harbour for visiting boats and crew.

Answer: High water Spring tides give an average 2.5m depth at the visitors' pontoons and approach channel, although this may increase slightly due to weather conditions. The Neap high tide depth is 1.8m. The harbour dries out at low water, around 5 hours after high water, revealing a firm level bottom. It is advised that fin keeled boats should lie against the quay walls south of the visitors' pontoons.
