The four crew members were able to safely step off but the boat - Three Cheers - got wedged under the pontoon.
Poole lifeboat and coastguard were called out to assist but the crew ended up calling a local recovery company to remove the boat after the prang on Monday.
A spokesperson for Poole Lifeboat said: "A 50ft trimaran was passing through Poole Harbour on passage.
"With no engine at the time, it got into difficulty and ended up aground and wedged under a jetty near North Haven Point.
"The lifeboat volunteers were swiftly on scene and found that the casualties were all ashore, safe and well and did not require assistance."

The couple paid £7m for a 60-year-old house that stood on the plot before demolishing it and building the dream home in its place.
Luxury properties on the edges of the peninsula have gardens running down to the water and private jetties with direct access to Poole Harbour.

Oscar-winning The Way We Were lyricist Alan Bergman dies aged 99
Bergman died on Thursday at his home in Los Angeles, family spokesperson Ken Sunshine said in a statement. The statement said Bergman had, in recent months, suffered from respiratory issues 'but continued to write songs till the very end'. The Bergmans married in 1958 and remained together until her death, in 2022. Marilyn and Alan Bergman pose at a piano in their home (AP) With collaborators ranging from Marvin Hamlisch and Quincy Jones to Michel Legrand and Cy Coleman, they were among the most successful and prolific partnerships of their time, providing words and occasional music for hundreds of songs, including movie themes that became as famous as the films themselves. Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Tony Bennett and many other artists performed their material, and Barbra Streisand became a frequent collaborator and close friend. The Bergmans crafted lyrics known by millions, many of whom would not have recognised the writers had they walked right past them. Among their most famous works: the Streisand-Neil Diamond duet You Don't Bring Me Flowers, the well-named Sinatra favourite Nice 'n' Easy and the topical themes to the 1970s sitcoms Maude and Good Times. Their film compositions included Ray Charles' In The Heat Of The Night from the movie of the same name; Noel Harrison's The Windmills Of Your Mind, from The Thomas Crown Affair; and Stephen Bishop's It Might Be You, from Tootsie. The whole world seemed to sing and cry along to The Way We Were, an instant favourite recorded by Streisand for the 1973 romantic drama of the same name that co-starred Streisand and Robert Redford. Barbra Streisand became a frequent collaborator and close friend (PA) Set to Hamlisch's tender, bittersweet melody, it was essentially a song about itself — a nostalgic ballad about nostalgia, an indelible ode to the uncertainty of the past, starting with one of history's most famous opening stanzas: Memories/light the corners of my mind/misty watercolour memories/of the way we were.' The Way We Were was the top-selling song of 1974 and brought the Bergmans one of their three Oscars, the others coming for Windmills Of Your Mind and the soundtrack to Yentl, the Streisand-directed movie from 1983. At times, the Academy Awards could be mistaken for a Bergman showcase. In 1983, three of the nominees for best song featured lyrics by the Bergmans, who received 16 nominations in all. The Bergmans also won two Grammys, four Emmys, were presented numerous lifetime achievement honours and received tributes from individual artists, including Streisand's 2011 album of Bergman songs, What Matters Most. Their very lives seemed to rhyme. They did not meet until they were adults, but were born in the same Brooklyn hospital, four years apart; raised in the same Brooklyn neighbourhood, attended the same children's concerts at Carnegie Hall and moved to California in the same year, 1950. They were introduced in Los Angeles while working for the same composer, but at different times of the day. Their actual courtship was in part a story of music. Fred Astaire was Marilyn's favourite singer at the time and Alan Bergman co-wrote a song, That Face, which Astaire agreed to record. Bergman rushed home to tell Marilyn the news, then proposed. Bergman is survived by a daughter, Julie Bergman, and granddaughter.

Meghan Markle suffers major setback as Netflix show fails to make top 300 list
Meghan Markle's Netflix show has failed to make an impact after just 5.3 million watched the series in the first three months after it was released in March Meghan Markle's venture into streaming with her Netflix programme With Love, Meghan has struggled to leave a lasting impression. The Duchess of Sussex's aspirations of building a media empire have hit a stumbling block as the show failed to crack the top 300 programmes during the first six months of the year. The lifestyle programme launched in March but has only accumulated 5.3 million views, securing a rather unremarkable 383rd position on Netflix's viewing rankings. This performance mirrors that of the BBC's Peaky Blinders second series from 2014, as well as the fourth series of Suits - the legal drama in which Meghan herself appeared back in 2011. With Love, Meghan features the Duchess demonstrating her cooking and gardening skills, sharing advice and welcoming celebrities such as Mindy Kaling, with Netflix branding the programme as "inspiring" and a innovative approach to lifestyle television, reports the Mirror. Although it enjoyed a promising launch, rocketing into Netflix's worldwide top 10 on its debut day, later statistics reveal a rapid decline in viewership, worsened by a barrage of harsh critiques. The Telegraph condemned the programme as an "exercise in narcissism", whilst The Guardian branded it "toe-curlingly unlovable TV", with Rotten Tomatoes awarding it just 36% and IMDb delivering a dismal 3.2 score. Regardless of the scathing reviews, Netflix has verified that filming for a second series is already in progress. The eagerly awaited follow-up has wrapped production and is scheduled to debut this autumn. Harry and Meghan clinched a lucrative five-year deal with Netflix in 2020, believed to be worth an impressive $100m (£74.4m). The contract, secured through their production company Archewell, led to the creation of Harry and Meghan – a six-part docuseries that delves into the couple's contentious split from the Royal Family. Despite its initial success as Netflix's most-watched documentary premiere, the series quickly came under fire and experienced a sharp drop in viewership. Last year's data showed that Meghan's previous television series Suits eclipsed the documentary, boasting nine times more viewing hours. Meghan's venture into a Netflix-supported lifestyle brand has also faced criticism upon the revelation that her "craft" jam is made an astonishing 2,000 miles away from her home in Montecito. Originally named American Riviera Orchard, the brand underwent a name change to As Ever due to trademark issues. Beyond Netflix, Harry and Meghan entered into a $20m podcast agreement with Spotify in 2020. However, this partnership fizzled out after Meghan produced merely 12 episodes of her interview series Archetypes over two years. Bill Simmons, a top podcasting executive at Spotify, labelled the duo "grifters" following the conclusion of their collaboration.

Meghan Markle hit with blow as Netflix series fails to land in top 300
Newly-released figures from Netflix show the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle programme has been watched 5.3 million times - despite the high-profile host. Meghan Markle's latest venture into the world of streaming with her Netflix show With Love, Meghan has failed to make a significant impact. The Duchess of Sussex's dreams of creating a media empire hasn't gone to plan as she struggled to get into the top 300 shows for the first half of the year. The lifestyle series premiered in March but has only been viewed 5.3 million times, placing it at a modest 383rd on Netflix's viewership charts. This puts the show on par with the second series of the BBC's Peaky Blinders, which debuted in 2014, and the fourth series of Suits, the legal drama that featured Meghan herself back in 2011. With Love, Meghan sees the Duchess showcasing her culinary and horticultural prowess, offering tips and hosting guests like Mindy Kaling, with Netflix describing the show as "inspiring" and a fresh take on lifestyle programming. Despite a strong start, soaring into Netflix's global top 10 in its first day, subsequent figures indicate a swift drop-off in interest, compounded by a slew of critical reviews. The Telegraph slammed the show as an "exercise in narcissism", and The Guardian labelled it "toe-curlingly unlovable TV", with Rotten Tomatoes giving it a 36% rating and IMDb scoring it a lowly 3.2. Despite the poor review, Netflix has confirmed that production for a second series is underway. The much-anticipated project has been completed and is expected to air in the autumn. Harry and Meghan secured a lucrative five-year contract with Netflix in 2020, reportedly worth a cool $100m (£74.4m). This deal, inked through their production outfit Archewell, spawned Harry & Meghan – a six-part docuseries chronicling the couple's controversial departure from the Royal Family. Despite its record-breaking debut as Netflix's most-watched documentary premiere, the series faced harsh criticism and saw a swift decline in viewership. Last year's figures revealed that Meghan's former TV show Suits outperformed the documentary by ninefold in terms of viewing hours. Meghan's Netflix-backed lifestyle brand has also attracted scrutiny after it was discovered her "craft" jam is produced a staggering 2,000 miles from her Montecito residence. Initially named American Riviera Orchard, the brand has been rebranded to As Ever due to trademark complications. Outside of Netflix, Harry and Meghan signed a $20m podcast deal with Spotify in 2020, but this collapsed after Meghan produced just 12 episodes of her interview show Archetypes in two years. Bill Simmons, a senior podcasting executive at Spotify, called the pair 'grifters' after the partnership ended.
