That’s a wrap on the Southampton International Boat Show 2024! We want to thank all of you that were able to visit our show stand on our joint Falmouth and Southsea Marina day and throughout the 10 days of the show. It was a pleasure to welcome nearly 4000 guests to the stand and we hope you found your visit both enjoyable and informative.
Staff hellos and goodbyes
We are delighted to welcome Joseph Richards to the Falmouth Marina team as a Marina and Boatyard Operative, joining his father Steven Richards our Dockmaster. Whilst we welcome a new face, we are also sad to say goodbye to two of our team.
For over 35 years, Alison Marks has been an integral part of the team here at Falmouth and we all wish her the absolute best as she enjoys her semi-retirement. We also want to say a big thank you to Izzy Classey who has been brilliant working for us over the summer and we wish her the best in her quest to get on a superyacht.
Refurbishment works
We have been busy at work to ensure we are providing first-class facilities including conducting a full repaint of the marina control building, both internally and externally alongside fitting new doors and refurbishing the ventilation system within the facilities block.

James Ketchell sets off from Gosport Marina
Last month, adventurer James Ketchell began his planned record-breaking attempt to solo circumnavigation of the globe, starting at our very own Gosport Marina. James will be tackling a remarkable 30,000 nautical mile journey aboard his Class 40 yacht, "Mindset", of which Premier Marinas are proudly sponsoring.
