HUMBER HAVENS
Tetney Haven (Humber Mouth Yacht Club)
A vessel drawing 1.5 metres may safely enter and depart Tetney Haven approximately 2 hours either side of High Water. The seaward end of the entrance channel is about 5 cables upstream of Haile Sand Fort and is marked by a post painted red and black. There are a few moorings available and vessels can be expected to take the ground at about half-tide. The haven is normally protected by high-drying sands so there is little risk of bumping the bottom. Limited facilities are available during the summer-sailing season.

Stone Creek
Located on the north side of the river, Stone Creek is opposite the Port of Immingham and is 1.75 miles from the village of Stone Creek. There is a public telephone but no shops.

The creek and its moorings are usable 2.5 hours either side of High Water at MHWS, 4 metres can be found throughout the channel. However, as the channel is very narrow and twisting at the entrance, it would be prudent to work on 2.5 metres. All types of boats are welcome and the club at Stone Creek has a friendly atmosphere.
