I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Land owner permission not required.
Situated along the Medina Estuary by the Island Harbour Marina is the former Paddle Steamer Ryde which sadly is being eaten away by the elements after failed restoration attempts.
A quick search on Google will give fuller information to the history of this vessel and it's worth a capture before it's finally removed to the scrapheap.
TOAL & access is via a public footpath that runs alongside the marina. Entry has to be made by access through the marina itself from Mill Lane off the A3054.
Although there is a car park at the marina, it's not been ascertained if this car park is open for public parking or vessel owners only - I'll add a parking marker anyway.
If you're taking public transport, I took the No.5 from East Cowes to Binfield Corner. The Marina is a 10 minute walk along Mill Lane.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 22/02/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
