Just one month to go! 🎉
We're looking forward to welcoming boaters, homeowners, visitors, friends and families to Roydon Marina's Open Day on Saturday 18th July, for what promises to be a fantastic day by the water.

Whether you're already part of the Roydon community, thinking about mooring your boat here, curious about the lifestyle, or simply looking for a lovely day out, we'd love to see you.

There'll be plenty to explore, including boat viewings, lodge tours, live music, great food and drink, shopping, and the chance to chat with some of the biggest names in the boating world, including Haven Knox-Johnston, River Canal Rescue, Titan Boat Canopies, Kingsground and Elton Moss Boat Builders.

Most importantly, it's a chance to experience the friendly atmosphere that makes Roydon Marina Village such a special place.

🚤 Planning to arrive by boat? We’re offering complimentary visitor moorings for the Open Day. Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance, and everyone who books a visitor mooring will automatically be entered into our prize draw to win a winter mooring this winter!

We're counting down the days and can't wait to welcome you all on Saturday 18th July. See you there. ⚓

With safe and secure moorings, free parking, excellent on-site facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's a place where many boaters choose to keep their boat for years.

Whether you're planning weekend escapes, longer adventures, or simply looking for a safe and convenient base for your boat, we'd love to show you around.

One of the best things about exploring the UK's waterways is never quite knowing what's around the next bend. ⚓

With Roam Free, our annual moorers can enjoy free visitor moorings across the Lakeland Leisure Marinas network, making it that little bit easier to plan your next adventure.

When you're heading off on an adventure, it's always reassuring to know there's a secure marina mooring waiting for you along the way.

Where's your favourite place to cruise to? 🚤

🚤 Ready for a change of scenery?

Did you know that if you're a moorer with Lakeland Leisure Marinas, you can transfer your mooring to another one of our marinas without going through the usual process of ending your agreement and starting all over again?

Whether you're looking for a new cruising area, want to be closer to family, or simply fancy a change, we offer the flexibility to move between our marinas with ease. We'll handle the transfer for you, making the paperwork simple and stress-free. (Now, if only physically moving the boat there could be that easy! 😄)

Contact us to find out more about transferring your mooring across the network.

June is when the canals and rivers truly come into their own ☀️🌿 Long, golden evenings by the water, wildlife around every bend, and the sound of boats gently passing by as the sunshine reflects across the water.

It’s the season where days outdoors feel effortless, with slow mornings with coffee on the stern, peaceful towpath walks, and sunset views that make you want to stay outside just a little longer.

Across our marinas, June also brings a real sense of community, with friendly chats on the pontoons, cruising adventures, waterside events, and the simple pleasure of spending more time outdoors by the water.

Whether you’re already moored with us or dreaming of your very first boat, there’s no better time to experience the beauty of the canals in summer. 💙
