Latest News & Tips
at Margate Marina

I’d like to thank you for my recent slipping experience at Margate Marina Park. It was wonderfully quick and efficient and the most stress free slipping I have ever had (for me and the catamaran). The trailer and the hard stands are ideally suited for lifting catamarans. I would like to extend my thanks to Justin, the operator of the machinery. He was meticulously careful, patient and understood the loadings of our types of boats. He is a real asset to your business. We will be back in September 2015. May your Marina Park flourish.

Rick Lutjens – LAST FANDANGO

I would appreciate the opportunity to give you some feedback regarding your Marina at Margate. I have used the Marina on three occasions over the past six years to slip my boat for maintenance so have seen the big changes taking place and all for the better. I find the atmosphere at the slip very friendly and efficient, due in no small part by the ever positive attitude of Justin. To Justin nothing is ever a problem, he is always ready to offer assistance when needed and to accommodate boat owner’s requests. Indeed he has created a warm friendly atmosphere amongst all the boat owners who use the slipping facilities. I’m sure given the influence of Justin’s work ethic and the greatly improved slip yard the business will grow to become a very popular place for boat owners to work on their boats.

After an unfortunate incident, my 11.3 mtr. Catamaran required an immediate haul out. The Margate Marina staff facilitated this with the most efficient and stress free haul out that I have experienced in many years of boat ownership. The care and diligence demonstrated, along with the help and assistance was greatly appreciated. I can recommend this yard to any fussy boat owner and expect it will only improve as works progress further. Many thanks to the team at Margate.

Randal Waugh – SV Sanura

Very impressed with the new facilities and look forward to seeing how the future developments proceed at the marina. As usual, all the staff at the marina, Tim, Gary, Justin & Dion very helpful.

Colin Evans – Daydream

As one of your first customers on the new ramp, I thought I'd let you know that I'm very happy with the haulout facilities for my catamaran. The trailer is great for lifting larger cats, the workspace is good and the help from Justin and Tim was much appreciated. See you next time.

What customers are saying

Thanks for the expert service when Andromeda was hauled recently at Margate Marina. I needed the boat supported clear of the ground to allow work under the keel. This was possible with your hydraulic trailer and the hull was well propped and supported so that the 50 knot gusts during the time on the hard were not a problem. A very satisfactory experience.

Roger Locke

The service provided by Margate Marina is as good as I could want. You are prompt, friendly and competent. Having used both the DSS and Port Cygnet each for about 10 years your service compares favourably. I will continue to use your facility and look forward to further developments in the services available. The yard system and haul out trailer work well together. The stands hold my yacht in a convenient position to work on. It was interesting to hear about the marina development. We could be interested in occupying a berth when the development opens.

I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to Justin and his team at Margate Marina for their support and positive attitude whilst having my boat on the slip for 2 weeks recently. I was really impressed with the new trailer and hardstands purchased recently, a real positive moving forward for your business. I highly recommend you guys to anyone looking at slipping their boats and I believe in time to come once the word is out your business will develop and grow as it should. Keep up the good work and once again thank you and we'll see you on the next slip.

Dennis Lord – Morphik

Just a short message of appreciation of your team at the Margate Marina, Justin, Emily, Gary & Dion. This last slip involved a lot of time and effort and at every stage of the work everyone was extremely helpful and co-operative. Could you please pass on my thanks and appreciation to all.
