Marina Facilities
The marina has 55 berths, all of which are normally occupied by Club members, although visitors can be accommodated and are always welcome (see below). Marina facilities Facilities include internet access, electricity, water and sanitation pump out, and our clubhouse has bar and catering, showers and toilets. For access to the marina, we request you have your boat fendered and we recommend extra caution, during an ebb tide particularly when we have a strong current, this tends to happen an hour before HW. You could be entering when the ebb is running and could get swept downstream by the tide. Unless you are a regular visitor we recommend not to moor stern to in our berths (especially B pontoon). Bow to would be preferred Any deeper draught boats should exercise caution at low water springs.
Facilities close by include diesel, chandlery, gas, electronics repairs and maintenance, crane, marine engineers, sail repairs and shipwright.
