This month we head over to Wales and the popular Aberystwyth Marina. ABERYSTWYTH Marina offers 165 first class berths providing safe, secure and sheltered moorings for motorboats and yachts. The marina is at the heart of the fishing port on the 23 acre harbour site. The location of Aberystwyth Marina, in a historic university town, ensures
there are a range of cultural, active and educational activities within close proximity to the marina for berth holders to benefit from. Aberystwyth also has a wide range of cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars, many a short walk from the marina.
FACILITIES & BERTHING
Purchased by the current owners, The Marine & Property Group Ltd, in September 2015, the marina has undergone significant upgrade works over the past few years. The marina has been extensively dredged and a regular on going maintenance dredging schedule is provided by the company’s own dredger. New berth holders are welcomed
all year round. In addition to annual berths and visitor berthing, the marina offers a range of summer and winter berthing options. The marina offers fully serviced pontoons with electric points and water. A new pontoon configuration was installed by Walcon Marine to improve the layout and create a number of larger berths allowing the marina to accommodate boats up to 16m.
The marina also operates the impressive Harbour House building, home to the marina office and chandlery as well as a number of local businesses, with plans recently submitted to create a bar and restaurant on the ground floor overlooking the marina. A programme of on going upgrades continues to improve infrastructure and security across the marina.
