I'm guessing that when Pepys refers to "Yarmouth" he means what is now Great Yarmouth on the Norfolk coast; this seems to make more sense to me than the Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. I may be wrong though...

Almost certainly Great Yarmouth.
Amazing history of sea-fairing people.
In 1660 Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, was High Steward of the Borough, perhaps this adds to the likelyhood?
