Coming soon!

Morning, welcome to the Ships Blog.

We are writing to let you know that we will be experiencing exceptionally low neap tides this weekend. Tides on Friday and Saturday will only reach around 3.2 metres at highwater which means we will struggle to maintain water levels in the marina. The duty lockmasters will be manageing the water levels by ensuring the lock cycles are run as efficiently as possible ensuring that as many boats as possible use the lock on each occassion. This will mean that lock can be slightly longer than usual.

We apologize if this causes any delays. Any queries please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01473 788982.

Have a good weekend!

Good afternoon,

As you may well be aware already, there is a temporary Hosepipe Ban coming into effect from 1:01am Saturday 11th July 2026.

This will mean that we need to ask all Berth holders to refrain from using the pontoon water hose to wash vessels. Filling tanks is still acceptable.

All yard work will continue as normal.

Thank you for you understanding and co-operation.
