Boatyard
At Brighton Marina we offer several boatyard services.
Boat handling
There are various options available to you depending on your requirements, from assistance, through to towing.
Pump out facilities
Brighton Marina offers a pump out service. This is free for berth holders. We advise that bookings are made in advance for the pump out.
Lift, scrub and block off
We can safely lift your vessel ashore using our boat lifting equipment which is all operated by specially trained staff. On lifting your boat we wash the hull of the boat with a high pressure jet that removes most light weed and marine growth.
Once complete we will 'block' your vessel off on our specially designed cradles, pads and blocks. The last lift of the day is approximately 1530 as the operation can take up to an hour and a half to complete. Brighton has a 60-ton travel hoist, 3.2-ton telehandler, 4-ton crane and a boat mover. Marina staff will be happy to advise on charges.
Lift, scrub and relaunch
This service is for customers who simply want their boat's hull cleaned with our high pressure wash, no further time is allocated in this operation and once complete the boat is immediately launched. If you require additional time for fitting anodes or antifouling this can be arranged in advance but a separate charge, 'hold in slings' is applicable.
Launch
If you require your mast to be stepped on relaunch we can arrange this with our on site crane, in addition to this we offer towage and/or marina assistance to berth. Other marine contractors services may be required and are available on site i.e. valeting, chandlery, and rigging.
