Every journey starts with a few final checks. ⛵️

Before the sails are hoisted and the lines are cast off, there’s always that moment of preparation - checking the rigging, securing the deck and making those last adjustments before heading out onto the River Orwell.

With 550 berths, year-round access at all states of the tide and a wide range of marine services on site, Suffolk Yacht Harbour has been supporting life on the water for over 50 years.

What’s your favourite part of getting ready for a day afloat?

One of the largest lifting facilities on the East Coast.

Whether it's for annual maintenance, storage, surveys or major refits, moving a yacht safely requires the right equipment and experienced operators.

Suffolk Yacht Harbour's 75-tonne travel hoist is the largest lifting facility between Bridlington and the Solent, allowing us to safely launch and recover a wide variety of sail and motor boats.

Watching a lift never gets old.

Great seasons start in the workshop.

Every boat tells a different story, but they all have one thing in common – regular maintenance helps keep them performing at their best.

With over 50 years of boat-building experience and specialist facilities, including a 130ft preparation and spray bay, every project receives the attention to detail it deserves.
