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.

If you would like to know more about the policy, or complete the consultation please see the links below:
