With Dover’s state-of-the-art facilities in the new Outer Marina and Wellington Dock now open, the team is preparing for a great season ahead. The Marina offers 385 berths with space usually available for visitors to turn up without booking.

Dover’s unrivalled location as the closest point of the UK to mainland Europe, plus its stunning backdrop and inspirational heritage, makes the Marina the perfect stop for sailing adventures taking in France, the Southeast coast, or wherever the wind takes you across the Continent. Whether it’s for a last-minute day trip, a break to re-fuel, or an extended stay, Dover is the ideal place.

Chris Windsor, Marina Manager at the Port of Dover said:

“2025 is the perfect opportunity to explore this wonderful corner of Kent, and we are delighted that many new faces and boats will make use of our modern berths and excellent facilities, which boast a wide range of features and amenities to suit different needs. We look forward to welcoming everyone here soon and showcasing the best of Dover Marina as we approach high season.”
