Premier Marinas is to invest a further \u00a38m in the regeneration of Swanwick Marina.<\/p>\n
The major investment follows the company\u2019s \u00a35.8m investment in the construction of a new boatyard in 2014 and will see 59 new berths created, with all berth holders allocated use of a berth measuring at least the length of their boat.<\/p>\n
At the centre section of the marina, the berths will be set 700mm above water level – 200mm above standard height – to reduce customers\u2019 deck to pontoon \u2018jump down\u2019 when berthing their vessel.<\/p>\n
Plans also include constructing a marina bridgehead building, berth holders\u2019 lounge and a new food and drink building.<\/p>\n
“Swanwick Marina was constructed in the late 1960\u2019s\/early 70\u2019s when boats tended to be smaller and narrower,” said Premier Marinas\u2019 CEO Pete Bradshaw. “The current pontoons do not meet modern industry standards – or the quality expected by our berth holders.”<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cPremier\u2019s vision for thoughtful marina design will greatly improve our customers\u2019 experience and safety. Our plans for Swanwick will set a new standard for marina development.\u201d<\/p>\n
Easier access<\/p>\n
In the new configuration all pontoons will be accessed via a single central bridgehead which has been designed to make movement easier by presenting a substantially lower access gradient than the current bridgeheads. During the in-water redevelopment the marina basin will be dredged.<\/p>\n
The eastern side of the marina will be cleared to create additional boat storage ashore and dedicated berth holder parking. There are also plans for a pavilion building to house boat sales and marine businesses.<\/p>\n
Phase one of the redevelopment will begin in October 2018.<\/p>\n
