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.
It is a small family club with around 200 members situated on the estuary of the river Humber near Cleethorpes.
They welcome a broad range of boats to the club including WINDSURFERS, DINGHIES, YACHTS, RIBs etc.

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 nearest villages are Patrington and Ottringham, which are some 5.75 miles away. Both villages have shops, public houses and are on the main bus route into Hull. 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.
