Universal Marina feels quiet, friendly and intimate, but hidden away amongst this tree-enclosed bolt-hole are a surprising number of services.

Pump-out facilities

You can find holding tank pump-out facilities on the fuel pontoon at our sister marina, Swanwick. For charges, see our price list here, prices are per 15 minutes (enough to empty an average tank), with discounts for Premier berth holders. Adaptors are available from the fuel berth and tokens from the marina’s reception. Pump performance is better around high tide.
