Our main hoist dock has recently undergone a significant refurbishment, the first since its original installation in 1994.

Home to the largest travel hoist on the East Coast, our boatyard facilities play an important role in supporting boat owners throughout the year.

The refurbishment also includes a new integrated collection system for w**d removed from boats during cleaning, alongside improvements to the dock's infrastructure.

It's all part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining and investing in the facilities that keep Suffolk Yacht Harbour running smoothly, now and for years to come.

Every journey starts with a few final checks. ⛵️

Before the sails are hoisted and the lines are cast off, there’s always that moment of preparation - checking the rigging, securing the deck and making those last adjustments before heading out onto the River Orwell.

With 550 berths, year-round access at all states of the tide and a wide range of marine services on site, Suffolk Yacht Harbour has been supporting life on the water for over 50 years.
