We take the safety of all berth holders, visitors, tenants and staff attending our sites very seriously.
In the coming days we are anticipating strong winds and icy conditions across our South Coast marina locations with 'Storm Bert' and we wanted to share some advice and assurances ahead of the bad weather.
We're always here to help!
We have members of staff onsite at all locations 24 hours a day, seven days a week, conducting regular pontoon walks, checking lines and fenders.
Our staff conduct extra checks during the more severe weather but we encourage all berth holders to ensure you are conducting your own checks alongside ensuring any tenders or loose items are secured or removed.
Slips, trips and broken hips!
Whilst our teams take the utmost care to ensure the main bridgeheads and jetty's are as safe as possible, please take care and keep an eye out for any icy patches on the pontoons.
If you are visiting the marina on your own, please do pop into the marina reception to say hello to our teams and let them know you are onsite.
Beware of cold water shock!
All marina locations have safety equipment available on the pontoons but please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the RNLI 'Float to Live' campaign and advice on cold water shock:
1. Take a minute for cold water effects to pass.
2. Relax and 'Float to Live' - float on your back to catch your breath.
3. Keep calm and call for help or swim to safety.
During periods of severe weather conditions including this coming weekend with 'Storm Bert', to ensure your safety and the safety of our staff, please do not stay aboard your boat during this period.
