THE CHANGING FACE OF MARINAS

Award-winning Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour is looking to the future as it enters the next chapter of its history, following on from the marina’s 50th anniversary celebrations last year.

On the banks of the Beaulieu River, where the New Forest meets the Solent, the marina offers a sheltered, picturesque setting for 211 fully serviced berths, more than 300 moorings and a boat park with a slipway, making it one of the most desired locations on the South Coast.

The last few years have seen Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour embark upon an exciting new era of improvements, helping the traditional marina to keep pace with modern demands while maintaining its natural charm. Building on this success, further upgrades to the marina and its infrastructure are taking place during 2022, all helping to improve the services offered to customers.

Continuous improvements Increasing the efficiency of the marina’s boat lifting service is the arrival of a Roodberg boat mover. Used to move and block off boats, the boat mover makes better use of the space within the boatyard.

With the arrival of a telehandler with a 17m reach, the marina now offers mast unstepping as part of its boatyard services. With its improved (4 tonne) lifting capabilities, the telehandler also helps with big tasks such as removing and refitting engines.

With the second phase of its £2m redevelopment completed last spring, the improved facilities are already proving a hit with mooring holders and visitors. The expanded marina offers 66 new berths, an increased provision of walk-ashore pontoons and improved services and facilities, keeping pace with modern demands while maintaining its unique character.

As a key appeal of the Beaulieu River remains its natural beauty, the redevelopment included a new black water pump-out facility as well as a new wash down area, enabling pressure washing to be undertaken in an environmentally sensitive manner.

The reconfiguration and extension of the marina took place over two winter phases, with Beaulieu Enterprises Ltd working with agencies including Natural England and the Environment Agency to ensure the protection of the river’s unique habitats and species.

Changing with the times Gosport-based specialist marina consultancy Marina Projects retained the traditional look and feel of the original 1971 marina, while updating it with modern equipment and design. Meanwhile, Fareham-based Walcon Marine reused as much of the existing infrastructure as possible.

Unique to the Beaulieu River, they pioneered a sustainable new way to reuse the Greenheart timber piles, reusing the piles in their entirety where possible, or creating a new ‘hybrid’ pile, which combines a section of the existing timber with a lower steel encasement for the below-water-line section.

Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour has been awarded 5 Gold Anchors

“The Montagu family has protected the Beaulieu River for more than four centuries and the redevelopment was undertaken in a sustainable way to protect its unique character.”

Previous projects include a £400k investment in washroom facilities, which were opened by Round the World race winner Mike Golding OBE. Each individual washroom features underfloor heating, heavy oak doors and luxury fittings, alongside a contemporary interior that was designed with a careful eye to the yacht harbour’s natural setting in the New Forest National Park. Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour’s commitment to customer service has also been enhanced by a new electronic harbour management system. The chandlery has been refreshed with a cosy seating area and is now a one-stop-shop for boating supplies, stocking rope, anti-foul and stainless steel hardware as well as provisions, grocery items and even dog lifejackets and accessories. Freshly baked goods arrive fresh for the weekends too.

5 Gold Anchors In recognition of its first-class facilities and outstanding customer service, Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour has been awarded a top rating of 5 Gold Anchors by The Yacht Harbour Association. The award came shortly after the 50th anniversary celebration of marina, which saw Olympic sailor Sir Ben Ainslie given the Honorary Freedom of the Beaulieu River by Lord Montagu as more than 800 berth and mooring holders gathered for the occasion.

As one of the few privately owned rivers in the world, the custodianship of the Montagu family has protected the Beaulieu River for more than four centuries and the redevelopment was undertaken in a sustainable way to protect its unique character.

At your service Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour offers full marina services, an open policy boatyard and a range of benefits. Pump-out facilities, fuel and water, WiFi and a fully equipped laundrette are also available.

The Captain’s Table and the Master Builder’s restaurant and bar are on the doorstep at the 18th century shipbuilding village of Buckler’s Hard, with its museum.
