Step 2:  Book with Bembridge Harbour

•  As well as registering for the rally in the customary manner, you MUST book with Bembridge Harbour as far in advance as possible - Bembridge have given us a closing date of 5th September!  When booking, use rally code GC269.  The price you pay will include any applicable discount for the Rally nights.

The process is simple. Here is the link to their website and relevant page: www.bembridgeharbour.co.uk/on-line-booking

Information from Bembridge Harbour:

All rally members should book online, using the rally code. During the online booking process, rally members will be asked to select either the rally rafting area (on the outside of the main Duver pontoon for ease of access) or a finger pontoon. Please be aware that finger pontoons are available to all visitors and are therefore subject to availability - early booking is advisable.  Please be aware that Finger pontoons are only for boats up to 12.8m LOA and are available to all visitors and are therefore subject to availability - early booking is advisable.    

A Duver Marina plan is available on the harbour website.

The rally code covers only the dates of the booked rally.  Anyone  wanting to arrive earlier or stay longer is very welcome and can make an online booking on their customer account (the system will automatically adjust for any relevant rally discount).

Rally Discounts
With the exception of the peak period 4th July until 31st August inclusive,  weekend rallies receive a 5% discount (Friday, Saturday and Bank Holidays). Mid-week rallies (Sunday - Thursday) receive 10% on berthing fees and electricity - this Rally Discount is only available for the Rally Rafting Area, and NOT for finger berths (and is in addition to the online booking discount).
