Southampton Town Quay gets 4 Gold Anchors
MARINAS: The ABP Southampton Town Quay marina has been awarded 4 Gold Anchors, says The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA).
Set in the heart of Southampton’s docks, the marina is a short walk to the centre of town with all the amenities, restaurants and bars that Southampton has to offer.
The marina currently has 130 berths with a good mix of boat types and sizes. TYHA says the staff is smartly dressed, with a very high level of customer service. Regular security patrols are carried out and the team offer 24/7 berthing assistance.
Marina manager Lex Bancroft is a keen environmentalist and follows Green Blue principles wherever possible and all possible recycling is offered at the marina. The marina scored very highly on its berth holder questionnaires and TYHA says the mystery shop also produced top marks.
“The investment last winter has enabled us to rejuvenate the marina, creating a vibrant and welcoming environment to moor a boat in the city centre,” said Mr Bancroft. “It is testament to my team to receive such a high rating for a marina this size.”
