Dover celebrates the two-year anniversary of the Outer Marina opening, and is ready to welcome over 200 berth holders in 2025
With a fantastic set of state-of-the-art facilities ready for use across the recently re-developed Wellington Dock and Outer Marina, there has never been a better time to sail via Dover. Annual and visiting berth holders alike are choosing Dover as a base, with its iconic backdrop, unrivalled location and exceptional customer service providing world class sailing experiences.
Chris Windsor, Marina Manager said:
"We are eagerly awaiting the 2025 high season from April and are excited to welcome our regular and new customers to both marina sites. The Outer Marina and Wellington Dock complement each other perfectly with modern and seamless facilities, whilst offering a wonderful mix of berths with a range of characteristics.
"We look forward to being part of more sailing adventures across Kent, the wider Southeast coast and Europe this year."
All features of Dover Marina are new or have been re-vamped since 2023, including:
- 385 modern tidal and non-tidal berths.
- A dedicated boatyard for maintenance and repairs.
- A fuel berth supplying red and white diesel and petrol, which is used by vessels around Kent and London.
- An ever-growing leisure area, the Marina Curve, which is at the heart of the Waterfront and home to local food and drink pop ups and a vibrant events programme.
- Top rate security, with a dedicated port police force, 24-hour cameras and full access control across both sites.
Dover Marina and the whole Port, is aiming to reach net zero on scope 1 & 2 emissions this year, which combined with excellent recycling and waste facilities, makes the Port one of the most sustainable places to go boating. In addition to recently going cashless, it was one of the first in the industry to use HVO fuel to operate boatyard machinery.
The Outer Marina was voted as one of the best 300 marinas out of 15,000 across the world by Navily members in 2024.
