Every journey starts with a few final checks. ⛵️

Before the sails are hoisted and the lines are cast off, there’s always that moment of preparation - checking the rigging, securing the deck and making those last adjustments before heading out onto the River Orwell.

With 550 berths, year-round access at all states of the tide and a wide range of marine services on site, Suffolk Yacht Harbour has been supporting life on the water for over 50 years.

What’s your favourite part of getting ready for a day afloat?

One of the largest lifting facilities on the East Coast.

Whether it's for annual maintenance, storage, surveys or major refits, moving a yacht safely requires the right equipment and experienced operators.

Suffolk Yacht Harbour's 75-tonne travel hoist is the largest lifting facility between Bridlington and the Solent, allowing us to safely launch and recover a wide variety of sail and motor boats.

Watching a lift never gets old.
