BUCKLER’S HARD YACHT HARBOUR LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Award-winning Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour is looking to the future as it enters the next chapter of its history, following on from the marina’s 50th anniversary celebrations last year.
On the banks of the Beaulieu River, where the New Forest meets the Solent, the marina offers a sheltered, picturesque setting for 211 fully serviced berths, more than 300 moorings and a boat park with a slipway, making it one of the most desired locations on the south coast.
The last few years have seen Buckler’s HardYacht Harbour embark upon an exciting new era of improvements, helping the traditional marina to keep pace with modern demands while maintaining its natural charm. Building on this success, further upgrades to the marina and its infrastructure are taking place during 2022, all helping to improve the services offered to customers.
Increasing the efficiency of the marina’s boat lifting service is the
arrival of a Roodberg boat mover, making better use of the space within the boatyard.With the arrival of a telehandler with a 17 metre reach,
the marina is proud to now offer mast unstepping as part of its boatyard services.With its improved (4 tonne) lifting capabilities, the telehandler also helps with big tasks such as removing and refitting engines.
With the second phase of its £2m redevelopment completed last
spring, the improved facilities are already proving to be a big hit with mooring holders and visitors.The expanded marina boasts 66 new berths, an increased provision of walk-ashore pontoons and improved facilities, keeping pace with modern demands while maintaining its unique character.
As the jewel of the Solent, Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour offers full marina services, an open policy boatyard and chandlery and a range of benefits. A restaurant, bar and tea shop are on the doorstep at the 18th century shipbuilding village of Buckler’s Hard, with its museum.
