You’ll find a friendly and knowledgeable team ready to help you make the most of your time at Premier’s Haslar Marina.
Ben Lippiett
General Manager
Ben has been running Haslar for several years, with a background in Maritime Studies and Water Based Leisure Management, he is perfect for the role. Ben loves being out on the water and spends as much time as possible outdoors. In his spare time, he is a keen runner as well as cyclist and is also an accomplished guitar player.
Colin McLean
Duty Manager
Colin has a wealth of nautical knowledge, from serving as a submariner, to restoring his beloved Westerly ‘Seatangle III’, teaching at the Gosport Sea Cadets whilst also being an RYA Powerboat instructor. There is very little he doesn't know about motor and sail boats alike and is happy to share this with those around him.
Mark Seaney
Duty Manager
Mark joined Premier Marinas at Universal in September 2022 as a Marina Operative, quickly making a positive impact and stepping up to support the team in a temporary Duty Manager role. In July 2025, he was promoted to full-time Duty Manager at Trafalgar Wharf, before stepping into another Duty Manager position at Haslar Marina. Before joining Premier, Mark gained a wealth of hands-on experience across various roles - including delivering boats for a local sales company, working as a fire protection engineer, and co-running an engineering business with his father. Outside of work, Mark enjoys spending time on the water aboard his motorboat and relaxing with gaming online.
In addition, we have a friendly and supportive team across the marina and boatyard who are here to help you.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us for help.
