2025
As ever at the heart of what we do. We have an exciting series of cruises planned for 2025. We have set out some brief details below. Marina Trip Bookings will go live in early February (see below for details).
We will keep you updated through our Website, Facebook Member’s Page and the Newsletter and directly if you have made a booking.
All of our Marina Trips and Activities are at the mercy of the weather and this will need to be considered before setting off.
All the Marina Trips are listed on the agenda boards below. Clicking on the relevant trip name (in colour) to open up the poster with full details of the cruise destination and other information.
All the activities (on our Calendar under News) can be opened by clicking on the relevant activity name (in colour) which will open up the poster with full details of the activity location and other information.
Cruises are now free to attend. There will be a £5 booking fee for each trip in 2025 but the fees paid for each cruise will be given to a cruise attendee to take on the cruise to use as a contribution towards, for example, a pontoon party?
This will, in effect, make cruises FREE to attend. We wanted to do this to recognise the support of all our loyal cruising in company members, and to encourage new members to get involved with our cruising in company family.
Mooring fees and other costs are the responsibility of the individual skipper.
CQBHA Booking Form will be live early February 2025, we look forward to seeing you on the cruises.

Mercury Yacht Harbour is set in a sheltered wooded site where the shallow waters of Badnam Creek join the River Hamble. Originally built by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the marina enjoys deep water access at all states of tide, and its excellent facilities include the Gaff Rigger bar, restaurant and chandlers. It is also, if you’re a bit of an adventurer, a brilliant launch pad for exciting dinghy trips up the river Hamble, where you can drift into the country and see the wonderful bird life that is always present on the upper reaches of the river. (2 Nights)

Weymouth still proves to be the most popular of our cruise destinations, generally marking the end of our Association cruising season. This year we will all be rafted up together on the main quay (as requested) where all the activity, restaurants and fun is. Weymouth is a summer holiday destination for many, with its shops, bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. With limited space here, booking early is essential as this is often the first cruise to get full. (3 nights)

We can adjust the booking for those skippers that may not be able to do the whole trip. If you let us know the times/days you can attend then we can make the neccessary arrangements with the Harbour Office. Please state this in the ‘Requirements’ box on the booking form
