Assuming we will have greater freedom and for planning purposes later in the year (assuming of course no lock-down number 2), are all marinas in the UK now operational for visiting yachts ?
Are all UK marinas now open ?
- Thread starter CPD
- Start date

ITYWF marinas in England are largely not allowing overnight visitors (even their own bertholders on their own boats). The rest of the UK hasn't "relaxed" lockdown in the same way as England has. So "no".

None of the ones I have tried so far are accepting new contracts or visitors.

There isn't a general answer, anyway - marinas (except for a few larger chains) are mostly independent and set their own rules. But as a general rule, it's no sleeping on the boat overnight (except for resident liveaboards) and no visiting yachts. Day sailing out and back from the same marina is OK.
Obviously, a yacht arriving in distress won't be refused, but it better had be in distress!

Our marina in Wales is locked up tight, no access by land or by sea.

This might be the case for CPD ( remember the stern gland in Lymington ?). Sorry Alan.

Thanks all. Any thoughts or musings on whether this is likely to change on Boris’s June/July 1st dates ??

I have been advised that the marina is in communication with DEFRA and the Marinas Minister whoever that might be, and take advice from them.
We will probably be lumped in with second homes and caravan parks for overnight stays, I await developments with interest.

It’s what happens when you have a jumped up community council that calls itself a parliament. It has to exercise its power.

I’ve been told that Grimsby Fishdock and HYC is open

Let's hope not. Maybe we can have rules that reflect risk factors (which are to do with social contact, especially if prolonged and indoors) which aren't necessarily a feature of boating, overnight boating, marinas or indeed caravan parks.

Island Ha rbour in Cowes/Newport is closed to visitors but open to berth holders going out for a daysail, tides permitting. staff partially back, lock openings by prior appointment only and none this Sunday 17/5. Very few berth holders seen today and none except us liveaboards overnighting. did see one group of 3 men arrive and work on their boat yesterday but apparently did not stay but returned home, not on the island, wherever that home is later same day

Given that three of the four nations of the UK are still in lockdown, the answer is, obviously, "no".

Sorry Vyv, but IMHO this part of the discussion is better suited to the Lounge. (I could make remarks about the lunatics running the Westminister asylum ? )

It is not my comment or discussion, I simply answered the OP question. Nothing will tempt me into the Lounge.

That wasn’t Vyv it was me!
My family is still locked down in Wales. My BiL is desperate to get to the water.
The virus Doesn’t recognise borders so it’s a stupid thing to devolve.
(my view that it’s costly and pointless to devolve anything is for the lounge)

I agree that the argument is one for elsewhere but since you chose your last PM devolution has suddenly got to look an awful lot more valuable.
