Pilotage in the Haven
-
From Dale to Lawrenny in the east is
approximately 12 miles.
-
The entrance to the Haven is very
straightforward, but during periods of heavy weather and in strong
winds against the ebb give St Anne's Head a wide berth to avoid the
confused sea. There are two deep water channels: small craft must
keep clear of tankers and other deep draught vessels, but there is
plenty of room between these channels and the shore.
- Vessels should maintain a distance of 90m from the oil refinery
jetties. The shipping movements for the day are broadcast on VHF
Ch12: 0800-0830 & 2000-2030. The channels are well marked by
lit buoys.

Approaches to Neyland
-
After passing Milford Haven Town the
Weir Spit port hand post, north of the Pennar Gut, should be left
to port. Take a North-easterly heading to Pembroke Reach and follow
the channel, marked with port and starboard posts. Leave Neyland
Spit port hand buoy to port and head for the Cleddau Bridge, until
Westfield Pill, to the North is well to port. Approach the marina
from SE giving the W bank a wide berth. The final approach is
marked by channel buoys.
- At night after rounding Neyland Spit port hand buoy Fl(2)R10s,
head between the 2FR (vert) and 2FG (vert) on the Cleddau Bridge
until the main marina building is to the NW. The entrance buoys are
lit. Beware of tidal set across the entrance. The marina listens on
Ch 37 and 80.
Milford Haven Waterway
Neyland Yacht Haven is centrally
situated in approximately 23 miles of sheltered tidal waterways;
home to an abundance of breeding habitats for a variety of birds
and other wildlife.
The local authority provides seasonal
pontoons where small boats can moor to explore villages offering
waterside restaurants and family pubs.
Certain areas are set aside for
specific activities, such as water-skiing. Planing is not allowed
above Lawrenny Reach or in any of the embayments and tributaries.
An estuary chart illustrating the various facilities and points of
interest can be found on the opposite page.
