Brixham Marina

A seal enjoying a peaceful afternoon on a jet ski pod (as you do).

A swan passing by.

Neither says a word.

Yet somehow both are involved in the most passive-aggressive conversation seen all week.

🦢: "Interesting choice of seating."

🦭: "Still better than swimming."

We've got some great news to share! MDL has successfully passed its latest assessments and retained all three internationally recognised ISO certifications.

We first achieved these in 2022, becoming the first UK marina operator to hold all three. Few UK marina operators hold these certifications, so retaining them is a real achievement and something we can all be proud of.

Our three certifications are:

ISO 9001 – Quality Management: Delivering consistent, reliable services and continually improving the experience we provide our customers.

ISO 14001 – Environmental Management: Reducing our environmental impact and looking after the marine environments we operate in.

ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety: Keeping our colleagues, customers and visitors safe.

As part of our ongoing partnership with SeaGen, helping support environmental monitoring and marine conservation, one of their smart monitoring buoys has captured some truly groundbreaking footage.

A local seal enjoying what appears to be a very deep afternoon nap on our wave screen.

Unfortunately, the dream ended rather abruptly when gravity got involved.

It’s not often that cutting-edge marine technology is used to document a seal falling out of bed, but we’re glad it was.

Thanks to the team at SeaGen for helping us understand our marine environment, and for reminding us that even seals have bad days 😁

No seals were harmed in the making of this documentary.

Everyone else sees a marina.

The swans see a private members' club they've somehow wandered into and immediately taken over.

To be fair, they look like they belong here. 🦢✨⚓️

Many thanks to our berth holder, Berwyn, for sending in this stunning photo.

What a night!

The marina looked so peaceful that all the boats seem tucked up and ready for bed. Of course, that only happens after our night team have done their checks and read every boat their favourite bedtime story 😉

Last night’s story: The Little Tugboat That Could.
