Overview
History
Premier Marinas Limited was formed in 1994, when the then owner of Port Solent Marina ‘Arlington Properties Corporation’ and owner of Chichester Marina ‘First Leisure Corporation’ combined their marina assets to create Premier Marinas Limited. Premier Marinas Limited has since grown through the acquisition of Falmouth Marina in December 1996, [Marina] in March 2000, Southsea Marina in November 2002, Gosport Marina in December 2003, Swanwick Marina in December 2005 and Sovereign Harbour Marina in Eastbourne, in July 2007.
Awards
Premier’s marinas are recognised under The Yacht Harbour Association’s Gold Anchor scheme.[2][3] Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne, Brighton Marina, Chichester Marina, Port Solent Marina and Gosport Marina all hold the ‘Five Gold Anchors’ award. Falmouth Marina and Southsea Marina hold ‘Four Gold Anchors’.
Facilities
Each marina has boatyard services, marine diesel and petrol, security, electrcity and water, toilet, shower and laundrette facilities, car parking and on-site dining options. Collectively, Premier has over 5,000 marina pontoon berths and onshore boat storage for more than 2,000 vessels. Across eight marinas, Premier has over 300,000 square feet of property for commercial rent; the majority of this space is occupied by services complementary to the marinas including food and beverage, marine chandlery, boat maintenance and repair, boat sales and brokerage and sail making.
RYA Active Marina Programme
In 2011 Premier Marinas became involved in the Royal Yachting Association’s (RYA) Active Marina Programme. The RYA is working with marinas and sailing schools in the UK to provide boat owners with part-subsidised training workshops aimed at increasing confidence and competence on the water. Premier Marinas’ Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne was one of the first marinas to launch the scheme in summer 2011. Premier Marinas worked with the RYA and local sailing schools to organise a number of workshops for berth holders covering topics such as basic maneuvering and berthing skills and electronic navigation.
