The Marina

Discover the maritime legacy of Gillingham Marina, an odyssey spanning four decades that invites sailors to find tranquillity on its waters. Emerging from the early 1970s, Gillingham Marina has flourished into a contemporary marvel, adorned with five gold anchors awarded by The Yacht Harbour Association—a distinction unparalleled in the maritime realm.

With roots in this storied heritage, our marina stands as a testament to enduring excellence, reaffirming its unwavering commitment to elevated standards. Offering berths for up to 500 boats across two basins, safety and security define your aquatic haven. The locked basin provides extended access over most tides, while the tidal basin offers an economical choice, showcasing our dedication to diverse preferences.

Your journey to us unfolds effortlessly. A dual carriageway from the A2/M2 leads straight to our entrance. For those seeking swifter travel, Gillingham railway station, a short five-minute taxi ride away, connects to Charing Cross and Victoria lines, whisking you to London and the captivating Kent coast.

Beyond the serene waters, our marina offers an array of comforts. Immerse yourself in the camaraderie of the new member’s bar and restaurant—a haven for berth holders and their esteemed guests. Refreshed showers, toilets, and a laundry room enhance your experience, while a playground captivates young adventurers. Annual berth holders enjoy reduced membership at the onsite Waterfront Leisure Centre, seamlessly blending leisure and well-being.

Within our expansive boat repair workshops, the South East’s largest, our capabilities unfold. Boat hoists of 65-ton and 20-ton capacities cradle vessels up to 26 meters, finding solace in our capacious spray booth. Our adept team handles osmosis prevention, marine engineering, shipwright craftsmanship, and anti-fouling application, serving a diverse fleet. We proudly serve the RNLI, Medway ports, and a spectrum of leisure craft, including insurance repairs.

Supplementing our offerings is an onsite Brokerage and Chandlery, crafting a comprehensive maritime haven where every need finds fulfilment. Embark on a journey that blends tradition with modernity, as Gillingham Marina welcomes you to a maritime experience beyond compare.
