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.  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 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and 9am to 2pm Saturday, Sunday quiet works only.
