This month we visit Fambridge Yacht Haven, a marina set in a charming location on the River Crouch in Essex. Nestled within a peaceful and pretty village in Essex, Fambridge Yacht Haven is less than an hour from London and offers 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 and 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, while within Stow Creek is the Yacht Haven and the 200 berth marina, indoor and outdoor boat storage, 40 ton boat hoist and marina café. It is a lovely place to spend family holidays
FACILITIES & BERTHING With two yacht clubs based at Fambridge Yacht Haven, there is plenty of racing
