Pleasure Boat, Vessel and Boatperson Licensing Policy Consultation
09 July 2025
Dorset Council are proposing a new policy for licensing pleasure boats, vessels, and boat operators who do not fall under the jurisdiction of a harbour authority.
Nothing has changed for operators that are currently licenced with us. This consultation does not affect vessels licenced by or who fall under the jurisdiction of the Weymouth, Bridport or Lyme Regis Harbourmaster.
