This month we head to Essex and pay a visit to the charming Fambridge Yacht Haven, which is laying more swinging moorings this winter to meet growing demand. NESTLED within a peaceful and pretty village in Essex, Fambridge Yacht Haven is less than an hour from London and boasts an impressive range of facilities. It is not hard to see why this marina is commonly referred to as ‘the jewel of the River Crouch’. Fambridge offers a back-to-basics family holiday with watersports on the river, mudlarking and fishing on the shore, along with wildlife watching across the surrounding salt marshes, tidal flats and grasslands. The marina is split across two sites. On the riverside is the Yacht Station with access to the marina’s river moorings,
visitor pontoon, boatyard and the Ferry Boat Inn. Within Stow Creek is the Yacht Haven and the 200 berth marina, indoor and outdoor boat storage, 40 ton boat hoist and marina café. Part of the Yacht Havens Group, berth holders benefit from a rural, peaceful marina, but with the professional services and facilities that come from being part of a modern marina group. Berth holders also enjoy discounted cruising through the TransEurope Marina scheme, as well as 14 days’ free berthing across Yacht Havens’ eight other marinas around the UK and the Netherlands. There are many things to do, both on and off the water in this part of Essex

Suitable for boats up to 16m in length and up to 18 tons, owners get complimentary use of a floating tender pontoon and seven-day ferry service. There is even a handy pontoon for easy pick-up/drop-off of crew and belongings. For year-round use, Fambridge offers a ‘Summer Swing’ package – seven months on a swinging mooring during the summer and five months on a sheltered pontoon berth over the winter.
