Premier finish first phase of Noss on Dart project

The new marina control building at Noss on Dart Marina has been opened by Premier Marinas. This striking building will house the new marina office, the luxury berth-holder facilities, a first-floor lounge and a café.

The berth-holder facilities comprise 12 individual shower rooms, plus two larger luxury shower rooms designed with accessibility and families in mind. Shared salon-style hair dryers are also supplied. There is a laundry with large self-service washing machines and tumble dryers for use with a contactless payment system.

The building will create a dynamic hub in the marina for all marina users and completes phase one of the £75 million regeneration project, which includes the new floating marina, fuel pontoon, state-of-the-art full-service boatyard, dry stack storage for around 100 small motorboats, multi-deck car park and self-store facility.

Phase two of the regeneration will follow, which involves the development of the waterside area –previously home to Philip & Sons Ltd, the original shipbuilders on the site. Plans for this include a hotel and spa with around 40 waterside apartments.

Ambassadors visit Royal Phuket Marina

A delegation of seven ambassadors from foreign countries visited the Royal Phuket Marina on 29 January to observe the marina’s sustainability efforts. Accompanied by Thai government officials, the delegation was impressed by the marina’s initiatives to reduce its environmental impact and promote sustainable maritime development.

Due to its central location and vibrant boardwalk atmosphere, the marina is an ideal departure point for high-quality boat excursions and yacht charters.

It is also Thailand’s only marina to hold both the prestigious Five Gold Anchor award and the International Clean Marina certification.
