Slipways
There are no slipways at South Dock Marina but you can use the slipway at Surrey Docks Water Sports Centre that is located close to the marina. The charge is £25 for launching or recovering a boat. Alternatively, you can use the crane within South Dock Marina's boat yard.
Cranage
Our crane is permanently mounted within the marina so it's not affected by tides. It can lift up to 17.5 tonnes and has an "adjustable spreader beam" to enable vessels of up to 15 metres in length to be lifted between road transport and the water. It can also be used for removal of engines, holding for surveys and stepping or unstepping masts. Vessels can be moved to the yard on a cradle with a limitation of 15 tonnes.
Please note the boat yard is open from 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
Facilities for marina users
Washing facilities
South Docks' floating amenity blocks contain ladies and gents toilets, shower facilities and a family shower room for younger children. Another large modern toilet and shower block is situated in the boat yard. Greenland Dock has a purpose built facility on land with toilet and shower facilities for ladies, gents and disabled people.
Security
The marina area and pontoons are protected by security gates. Long term berth holders are issued with fobs for the duration of their stay and these are linked to our computerised security system. Visitors are given a keypad number to enable access. The marina is staffed 24 hours a day. Locking is subject only to tides. Secure parking is also available to long term berth holders for an additional fee. Click the charges link to your left for further details of car park charges for berth holders and visitors.
