We are a small friendly team, whose total experience and knowledge of all things nautical exceeds 150 years. Our individual skill sets complement each other’s, enabling us to support our clients with all their needs and queries. We like to work hard, but also enjoy socialising out of hours and we will often all be found down the local after work enjoying a ‘bevy’ or two.
Richard Kember ‘The Boss’
Starting as a Shipwright before acquiring the marina, Richard developed the marina from a mud hole accommodating just 20 boats in 1985 into one of the premier independant marinas on the East Coast. With vast experience of the River Deben he is considered a true local amongst the local boating fraternity. Hands on and with a wealth of experience, Richard can be seen driving the crane, welcoming visitors and is happy to help you with any aspect of the marina’s activities.
