Chichester Marina is in the festive spirit and we want to share our thanks and gratitude to you for being a part of the community we have built here.
If you’re planning to visit the marina during the holidays, our team will be on duty should you require any assistance and please feel free to drop by the office to say hello, especially if you're visiting on your own.
We want to take a moment to reflect on the 2025 boating season and look ahead to what 2026 brings us.
One berth. A whole new South Coast network.
Haslar Marina is now officially part of the Premier Marinas network and you can now request your Premier Advantage visitor days and nights here for 2026. This exciting milestone follows our recent acquisition of Boatfolk and adds another destination for you to enjoy.
We’re also working to bring East Cowes, Portland, Weymouth and Deacons marinas into the Premier network ahead of the 2026 season and thereby creating the largest South Coast network for you to explore.
Our marina team is already busy with our annual winter maintenance schedule, so we can make sure the marina is ready for next spring season. Work has begun to conduct a full, site-wide pressure washing programme, alongside resurfacing the degraded areas of the north boatyard and pathway near Z facility block. This work follows the recently completed resurfacing of the large potholes around the marina.
A significant operation and a proud achievement for the boatyard team this year was the successful recovery of an abandoned 60ft wooden fishing boat ‘Monarch’ weighing approximately 65 tonnes.
Led by longstanding team member Ade, with the support of Harry Saunders, our management team, Sea Start and Sextant Marine who are completing the boat clearance work – an incredible achievement by all.
Getting into the festive spirit
We want to thank everyone who got involved in our 12 Days of Christmas photo competition.
We had some amazing photo submissions and have enjoyed spreading the festive cheer within our community with this competition, the amazing decorations made by our maintenance team and with festive treats available to enjoy in the marina reception.
