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 dedicated Noss on Dart 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.
The Boathouse Café and Deli – now open!
We are absolutely delighted to have The Boathouse Café and Deli now officially open at Noss on Dart! Open seven days a week offering breakfast, lunch and delicious coffee alongside a stock of staples such as milk, bread, butter and pasta. The Deli also offers a fridge full of charcuterie, local cheeses, olives, local soft drinks, alongside a counter stocked with cakes and sweet treats. A license application has been submitted for on and off sale of alcohol with a range of beer, cider, wine and spirits including some local favourites.
The Doggie Deli will also stock a great range of treats for your four-legged friends to enjoy and you can also stock up on frozen ready meals from Dartmouth Fine Foods.
Welcoming a new face to the team

Bellinda comes with a wealth of customer service experience having worked in A&E and doctor’s surgeries for over 25 years and also served in the Merchant Navy for 4 years.

Work continues on phase two of the regeneration project
Work is progressing well on the 69-bed boutique Noss on Dart Hotel and Spa, opening late 2025 alongside the 41 luxury apartments due for completion early 2026. You can stay updated with the latest news regarding the Noss Quay development works on the dedicated website.
During the winter months we will be continuing with onsite improvement works including to resurface the road section at the bottom of the hill and reprofile the rockface area.
The plan is to reduce the overall height of the bank, correct the levels and commence cutting of the rock face. Unfortunately, this will mean temporary traffic lights to restrict traffic flow along the access road, while the rock face is being cut down for a few weeks.
