Welcoming a new face to the team
We are delighted to welcome Jamie Degnin to the Brighton Marina team as our new Duty Manager.

Improving your access to our boatyard
Following your feedback, a new walkway has now been installed to the boatyard, completed by Walcon Marine. The walkway provides easy access to vessels when they have been launched or are waiting to be lifted, providing a safe and convenient access route and enables you to load and unload vessels on the waiting pontoon and take trollies.
I also want to remind you the lock is now closed until Sunday 1st December, subject to weather conditions. If you were planning to arrange for you boat to be in the boatyard during this time, please get in touch with us and we can discuss your options.
