UPDATE January 2023
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 12th Feb 2023
They have reissued the NOTAM re depths in the Marina - if over 2m draft stay clear for two hours eother side of LW
Update April 2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 28th Apr 2022
I updated these notes in late April 2022. There are still doubts about the depths within the marina. They are quoting reasonable depths in the entrance but you would be advised to query them before setting out for here. They still have a Notice to Mariners 11 of 2021 in force advising restricting movement around the marinas to four hours either side of HW due to depths in the fairways.
Windy
Written by rupertemerson | 23rd Apr 2022
Worth bearing in mind that when the wind gets up along the south coast it can really whistle through Brighton Marina. Spending that bit of time optimising fenders and warps will be worth it. If you do find a fender squashed then the chandlery at the far end will re-inflate it for you.
ENTERING BRIGHTON MARINA
Written by Artie | 6th Apr 2021
Always plan your entrance + or - 2 hours either side of Low Water.
The depth at the entrance is too shallow, due to silt build up.

Take care every one!

UPDATE SPRING 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 17th Mar 2021
I reviewed these notes in March 2021. There are reports that dredging in this marina has been neglected and this should be born in mind if intending to stop here. Prices have increased here in line with other Premier marinas on this coast.

Update Spring 2019
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 1st Apr 2019
It is uncertain when they intend dredging here but during the spring equinox local berth holders were left high and dry at LW springs.

UPDATE SPRING 2018
Written by Don Thomson | 26th Mar 2018
The amenities on the East Jetty have been refurbished. The building on the Boardwalk is now complete and doesn't appear to be affecting the views; in fact, the commercial properties underneath the flats has increased the choices of where to spend your money. The depth at the entrance is still causing problems and the NOTAM is still in force about that. Finally, there has been no increase in the prices.
Further update Spring 2016
Written by dononshytalk | 18th Mar 2016
The building work on the des res to the West of the harbour continues and it is not known what effect that will have on the ambiance of the visitors berths.
NB There are questions about the depths in the entrance(see the text above). If planning a visit here with a boat with over 1 metre draft contact the harbour to ascertain restrictions
Update Spring 2016
Written by dononshytalk | 18th Mar 2016
These notes were reviewed by Don in March 2016. Prices have been updated for the 2016 season.
Update April 2014
Written by dononshytalk | 8th Apr 2014
These notes were updated April 2014. Prices have been updated and you should note that there is building going on on the west side of the marina (des. reses.)
