Yes easily but you now only get two free cars and the rest have to pay which is probably what sorted the issue.

I loved Clarence when we were there 10 years ago. Aquavista who took over castle marinas are .. not great. I've had emails telling me my electricity bill is overdue before the bill has been issued. They charge contractors entry (which obviously they pass on) and have some weird **** shit about insisting that if you sell your boat you must do it through one of their approved brokers. The manager though seems very competent in spite of aquavista

Just a thanks to everyone who responded to this. Very informative. Just emailed them confirming I'll take a spot.

Once a berth secured let us know if any further questions eg reliable tradesmen who actually turn up on time and do the job etc ,canvas repairs etc.

I brought my wife down for a visit on Sunday to see what she thought of the place.
We arrived at 11:45 and as the weather was good I expected to find parking a problem. It was a breeze with plenty of places in the visitor car park. We walked down to the lightship for lunch but it’s way too fancy for us!
I won’t tell you where we ended up….
Left about 15:00 and got home in 1 1/2 hours.
Need to do some more testing but I think I’m going to bring the boat down for a year or so..

You were wise to avoid the Lightship for food -just a shame you weren’t able to visit a few years ago as it’s gone distinct off course since. A burger at the Creek is usually a safe bet.

The new menu this year is even better than last. They also started doing "small plates" on top deck. The waiting staff are a little green but overall service was fine and I'm sure will improve once they have a few weeks practice.

Happy to try if the costs for small plates are suitably adjusted. On our pontoon there hasn’t been a lot of positive feedback on lightship cuisine but admittedly last year. I would have thought they just need to look at the menu at the old fort in Seaview or venues in Yarmouth to make improvements though. Even the crab shack floating in Bembridge harbour can serve up a good meal after all .
