Looking back at Hull Minster from the Marina

Our Location

We are based at Hull Waterside Marina, a picturesque setting and  peaceful oasis amidst the bustle of the busy Humber Estuary.

Our location means the waterways of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk are open to us, as well as the North Sea and continental Europe.

The marina re-opened in 1983 in order to accommodate the ever-increasing demand for moorings. Today it can accommodate approximately 300 craft of different shapes and sizes.

Hull town centre which is only a short walk across the road and caters for all tastes, with its many shops and stores, plenty of restaurants and cafés, pubs and clubs.

Here for powerboat lvl2, having never been on a boat. Can't praise Andrew enough, from help and information over the phone and by email, before and while looking for a boat, to cruising on the humber confidently completing man over board manoeuvres. No sales pressure, and a great approach to teaching both in and out the classroom. Thank you 👍

I completed my Day Skipper Practical with Andrew and Ian; a very friendly and safe learning atmosphere both in the classroom and on the boat. Enough time is spent on everything to get people to where they need to be, and both Andrew and Ian have a wealth of expereince and knowledge that they bring to proceedings. Would definitely recommend!

Just finished YachtMaster Offshore. Fantastic course delivered professionally but in a relaxed style that built confidence and knowledge. Ideal boat for manoeuvring and navigating. A great package and well worth the money. Would highly recommend.
