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.

Timeless for a reason.

There's something special about seeing a classic yacht under full sail.

Suffolk Yacht Harbour has long been recognised as a destination for classic and modern yachts alike, with specialist facilities, expert marine businesses and the annual Classic Regatta celebrating the heritage of sailing on the East Coast.

Which do you prefer, classic yachts or modern cruisers?

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.

At Suffolk Yacht Harbour, our modern workshops are equipped to carry out repairs, renovations and refits on both classic and contemporary sail and motor yachts. 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.
