Discover the Broads' Best kept secret
Marina
For a trip along the river, you can hire day cruisers, canoes and kayaks – or you can take our pedestrian ferry across to Suffolk and walk alongside the river, through Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve or into the nearby town of Oulton Broad.
Private Moorings
Welcome to our marina – perfectly situated for access to the southern Broads, or you can be at sea in 1.5 hours via Mutford Lock & Lowestoft. The marina can be accessed at all states of the tide and has modern pontoon moorings with electric hookup. WiFi is available throughout the marina. If you’re looking for Norfolk or Suffolk moorings with every conceivable facility then you’re on the right page. Our 3 marina basins cater for vessels from 6m to 15m (20ft – 50ft), with the vast majority on floating pontoons. Most moorings have 16A electric hookup and access to fresh water. Our main mooring basin is accessed via a security gate with personalised access control and a private car park. Our dyke moorings, meanwhile, are conveneniently situated right next to the Mariner’s Stores and the Waveney Inn. Mooring fees for 2020/21 are £260 per metre per annum inc VAT. We offer all boatyard facilities including repairs & servicing, Boat Safety Scheme work, refurbishment and new build. We have a modern 2,500 sq.ft. workshop and a 30 tonne mobile hoist and offer winter storage out of the water if required. We specialise in high quality paint jobs and are an accredited application centre for Awlgrip paint. Other facilities on the marina include a shop, family friendly pub, indoor heated pool & café, WCs, changing rooms, showers and children’s play areas.
Visitor Moorings
Overnight and short-stay moorings are available, with stern-on moorings in the visitor basin and a limited number of side-on berths – overnight moorings are £10 stern-to and £14 side-on. Some electric hookups are available (cards available to purchase in our shop or reception).
Petrol, diesel, bottled gas, water and pump out facilities are all available.
Visitors are welcome to use our luxurious WCs and showers (included in the mooring and membership fees) and the launderette (coin-operated). Don’t miss the opportunity to pop in to The Waveney Inn for a drink or bite to eat when you visit.
Boatyard Facilities
Our boat building & service centre includes a 2,500 sq.ft. workshop and 35 ton boat hoist, enabling our team to provide almost any service you may dream up. Our boatbuilders are highly skilled in both GRP and timber and will be pleased to repair that little ding in the gelcoat, refurbish your wooden broads cruiser or build you a whole new boat if you prefer.
Servicing and winterising facilities are available, for most types of engines and drives, and we can carry out all necessary work to make your vessel comply with the requirements of the Boat Safety Scheme, including work to the gas installation.
Survey lift facilities are available, and we can transfer vessels from/to trailers & lowloaders, if arriving or departing by road.
If your boat needs a facelift, we will be pleased to price for a full or partial paint job – and, as an Awlgrip Paint Application Centre, you can be sure of a premium quality job which will attract admiring looks from your fellow boaters.
Our standard price list can be found here, but please contact us to discuss your specific requirements. We also offer a range of saver packages including boat lifts, antifouling, polishing & shrinkwrap.
