Harbour Tours

Harbour Tours are included in a Full Navy Ticket. For more information please telephone 023 9272 8060. Harbour Tours are subject to availability and prevailing weather conditions during the winter months and their availability cannot be guaranteed.

The Harbour Tour leaves from the jetty alongside HMS Warrior. Please check with the Visitor Centre for daily sailing times.

Waterbus times

Please note that during winter opening (29 October 2018 - 31 March 2019) the waterbus runs at weekends only.

Due to the jetties and steps being unsuitable for large pushchair, only small umbrella fold buggies can be carried onto the Waterbus, which must already be folded down before access to the Waterbus is permitted. Other buggy types can be left inside buggy parts near Boathouse 4 or inside Boathouse 5.

On Sunday 2 June 2019, the Harbour Tour and Waterbus will have a change to its regular timetable due to D-Day ceremonies talking place. The first Waterbus of the day will depart at 12.45pm and Harbour Tours will start operating as soon as it is safe to do so after the service, which starts at 11am.

The waterbus is included with a Full Navy Ticket and is subject to availability and prevailing weather conditions, therefore its availability cannot be guaranteed. The waterbus leaves from the jetty alongside HMS Warrior. Please see the table below for the waterbus departure times (*indicates pick up only due to attraction closing time **collection only from RNSM). 

Tidal movements effecting Waterbus

From time to time, the Waterbus service which operates from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard to our partner sites can be impacted by tide movements. Here are some changes to upcoming Waterbus times and services:

Attraction closing times

We always try hard to adhere to our closing times as closely as possible. On some occasions, they may vary throughout the year. All attractions close an hour before the site closes. *Sailing times for Harbour Tours change daily - so it's always worth checking on the day you plan to visit.
