Richard Kember
  Richard Kember

Starting his trade as a Shipwright at Whisstocks before acquiring the marina, Richard has developed the marina from something like a mud hole accommodating just 20 boats in 1985 into one of the premier marinas of the East Coast, whilst maintaining its independence.

With over 25 years of experience of the River Deben he must be considered the 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. 

Mark Cooper
  Mark 'Coops'

Mark is the marina manager, and a good source of local information too.... Talk to Mark in particular for information about boatbuilding, servicing and winter lay-up, as Mark has more than 25 years experience with boats and boating.

Mark is a big fan of GRP and West Epoxy, and when he wins the lottery, will be buying a big Sunseeker....

Mike The Pipe
 
Mike 'The Pipe'

If you can't find him, look for the smoke signals... Mike is the harbour master, and will often be found in the workboat in and among the pontoons. Whilst Mark is a big fan of grp, Mike is more the Old Wooden Smack type.. When Mike wins the lottery, he's going to buy 300 gallons of black tar, but we're not sure if that's for caulking a Bawley Trawler or for the pipe...

  Steve ' Spanners'

EX- RN Engineer Steve knows everything there is to know about impellors, prop pitch and inverters. Steve will be your first call for anything mechanical or electrical, from new boat or engine commissioning, servicing and fuel, water or electrical issues.

A really useful chap to know...
