description
Part of the Fambridge Yacht Haven operation.
Deep water river pontoon provides walk-ashore visitor moorings via security gate (payment by card required to obtain code). Visitor moorings may also be available by arrangement.
Beware the ebb tide! Due to the underlying river flow, when the tide turns the ebb builds quickly and runs fast especially after a period of heavy rain in the river catchment area. In strong Easterlies, this can lead to an uncomfortable couple of hours on board as the wind over tide can build short steep waves (never to dangerous levels though)
North Fambridge Yacht Club (by the inner end of the pontoon hammerhead) is in a former Crimean War portable hospital building. Visitors welcome but we do not have a bar and the building is only accessible when members are present.
The recently refurbished historic Ferry Boat Inn is a short walk away at the far end of the boatyard (10% discount for visiting crews).
Laundry facilities are available at the marina site (buy tokens from the marina office) as is marine diesel and petrol in cans but it is a fair walk to marina from the Yacht Station.
