About Us

Welcome to Castle Marinas

Castle Marinas owns nine marinas in outstanding locations. Two coastal marinas at the hub of UK sailing and motorboating - Portsmouth and Chichester Harbours on the South Coast of the UK, and seven marinas surrounding the heart of the UK's inland waterways.

Castle Marinas locations include Royal Clarence Marina in Portsmouth Harbour and Birdham Pool in Chichester Harbour. Our five inland marinas are perfectly located to cruise the UK canal network and include some of the UK's leading inland marinas. Buckden Marina on the Great River Ouse, Kings Bromley Marina on the Trent & Mersey, Nottingham Marina on the River Trent, Ventnor and Wigrams Turn Marina on the Grand Union and Oxford canals. In Spring of 2019 we added Crick Marina on the Grand Union and Cropredy Marina on the South Oxford to our portfolio.

At Castle Marinas our primary function is to offer a safe, secure and enjoyable berthing environment to our customers. 

Both Inland and coastal marinas benefit from the group wide experience and reciprocal berthing arrangements, underpinned by the business philosophy of an excellent level of personal service and great facilities at good value for our boat owners. 

The company was set up in 2006 by two of the UK's leading marina experts John Harding and Sam Bourne, with the backing of one of the UK's leading entrepreneurs. The sole mission is to provide customers with the best selection of marinas in the UK, offering a personal level of service, good value and great facilities. To date we have a portfolio of 9 marinas fulfilling this brief, and are proactive in our approach to accquire further marinas that complement our offer.

Castle Marinas - The UK's Marina Company big enough to offer excellent service, but small enough to give you and your boat the personal touch.
