Welcome to Burnham Yacht Harbour

Situated on the north bank of the River Crouch. We provide all the facilities you would expect to find from a top class premier marina and as we are in the town itself, it is just a short walk to explore the many restaurants, pubs and shops of the pretty sailing town of Burnham on Crouch.

The Marina and Town are set in the beautiful unspoilt Dengie Marshes, a haven for many species of wildfowl. From here it is a short distance to the open waters of the Thames Estuary and the peaceful cruising grounds of the Rivers Alde, Deben, Orwell, Stour, Thames and Medway. If, you are feeling adventurous France, Belgium and Holland are within an easy days sail away.

The Town has a very active racing fraternity and has a number of well known Yacht Clubs (RBYC & RCYC) that organise such activities.

New Incentive Schemes included in Burnham Marina Winter 2011 Newsletter

It was a cold start to the year but the rest of the season has seen some prolonged dry and warm periods making a good year for sailing. During the season we have had a large number of visitors from the continent as well as visiting clubs and individual sailors resulting in another busy and successful year at the marina. This newsletter is to bring you up to date with what has been happening throughout this year and to let you know of plans for the coming season.

We are a debt free marina and this has enabled us to keep next years rate rise well below current inflation levels and to continue with our refurbishment programme .

We are very much aware of the current economic climate and as such have limited our mooring fee increase from £240 to £246 ex VAT (£295 inc VAT) for the under 11 meters and from £284 to £290 ex VAT (£349 inc VAT) for 11 meters and over.

Incentive Schemes

Please find listed below a package of incentive schemes that we trust will be to your benefit.

If you sell your vessel and persuade the new purchaser to become a new resident the same deal will apply.

We also have a surplus of 11 meter berths and as a special for the coming year we will be offering two and three year contracts at a discount of 7.5% for two years and 10.5 % for three years on our published rates.

IMPROVEMENTS

Electricity power pedestals

We have replaced all of the  electrical power pedestals on the pontoons and trust these will prove as  reliable as the originals. Metered electricity cables are available from the marina office. The refundable cable deposit is £120.00 and electricity units are charged quarterly.

Top Car Park and Clarke and Carter Sales Area

Both areas have been completely resurfaced and tidied up.

Recycling

This year we agreed to have a clothes recycling bank supplied by the British Heart Foundation. We are pleased to hear that they they are very happy with the quantity and quality of clothes donated to date .

Dredging

This years dredging programme is expected to start in late December. We are planning to dredge rows A,D,E and H. as in previous years it would be most helpful if boat owners could liaise with the Harbourmaster with regard  relocation of their vessel when fingers are removed.

Technology

Wi-Fi- Attempts to improve the wi-fi signal are constantly being motioned  in an effort to improve the facility. It is worth noting that a few customers have noticed that by using USB powered receiver transmitter aerial(approx £20.00) the quality of reception is greatly improved.

Staff

This year has seen the departure of Jay Lumiere (Harbourmaster),  Peter Jowers (Shipwright) and David Bridge (Engineer).We wish them all the best for the future.

We welcome Bruce Mapes to our staff. Bruce has taken over the role of Harbourmaster.

New Buoyage System

In preparation for the new shipping trade to the Wallasea Wild Coast Project, the Crouch Harbour Authority, with support and assistance from Crossrail, have carried out major improvements to the buoyage of the River Crouch approach from Whitaker Spit inwards to Burnham Fairway . I am sure you will agree that it makes the Marina even more accessible.

Bluebird of Chelsea

We are very pleased that Dunkirk little ship “Bluebird of Chelsea”,  has returned to BYH for restoration work. This beautiful motor yacht was built by Thornycroft and originally owned by Sir Malcolm Campbell.

Tucker Brown Cup

The annual Tucker Brown Cup took place this year at the end of September and once again we were lucky to have fine weather and enjoyable racing. Excellent food was provided by The Swallowtail  and superb entertainment from the MJK band. Please note next years event will be held on 29th September 2012.

Health and Safety

When you are working on a boat based ashotre please ensure that all rubbish and old antifouling is removed at the end of each day.Please use plastic sheeting to protect the ground (gravel or block paving) and ensure that any ladders are correctly attached to the boat and safe to use. We would strongly recommend the use of the correct masks when antifouling.

Our terms and conditions do not allow subcontractors on site but in exceptional cases they will need to have received our prior written consent/approval and hold the appropriate insurance certificates and risk assessments . A site access charge will apply to contractors working on the marina site
