The new marina officially opens on the 1st April 2023. This makes their 2023 handbook out of date and our information out of date. We are chasing Dover for information.

I believe that from July 4th that limited moorings are now available.

DUE TO WORK IN PROGRESS THE DOVER MARINA WILL BE CLOSED TO VISITORS FROM THE 13TH MAY 2022 UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST 2022

I have edited this webpage as far as possible in early March 2021. The New Marina is complete as is the lock into the Wellington Basin at the Northern end of that. The Granville Dock and Tidal Basin are still accessible. Anchoring in the Outer Harbour is not allowed. Prices have not been updated for 2021 yet.

Things are advancing here at a great rate. The construction of the new marina basin is basically finished but still a lot of work to be done before it opens. This completion means that the restrictions on movement near it have been lifted and the new restrictions near the new Cruise Ship Berth are in place; we've edited the present chart and uploaded it to our chart Gallery. There's also a new video for procedures for yachties to get to and from the marinas.

I am writing to inform you that we, the Port of Dover, have received approval from Trinity House for the installation of an Unlit Green Pile in position Lat. 51° 06.869’ N, Long. 001°19.314’ E.

Dover Port Control.

For 2018 the Tidal Marina, Grenville Dock Marina and the Wellington Dock will operate as normal but the entrance will be obstructed by the development on the land side requiring a dog leg into the dredged channel controlled by traffic lights. Otherwise the new development will not effect your stay (other than the noise!) The prices have gone up here by about 20p a metre.

We, at visitmyharbour, will keep a close eye on things here and do another edit for the winter of 2018/19

Anchorage in the outer harbour not allowed due to exclusion zone for new marina piling and dredging work. Seems it will be like that all Summer 2017. Check Dover Port NtMs before planning on anchoring.

Contacted Port Control about 2miles out with boat info and preferred entrance. We were asked to keep well to North side and call them when we were about 2mins out for confirmation of entry. All smooth and we headed across the outer harbour to the marina. Allocated a spot in the tidal marina we found costs reasonable, staff friendly and helpful, good local info and guidance available. Facilities were a bit of a trek from the boat but good enough quality. There is a petrol station over the road for those able to top-up with cans.
Upon departure, Port Control need to know your preferred exit and onward destination....I think this avoids folk leaving West for convenience then heading East across the ferry lanes without them knowing!
There is a huge development project underway which will see the marina move into what is currently part of the Outer harbour with two of the three current marinas being filled in !!!! Yes, really!! Little impact on us in 2017 by the looks of it but 2018 may be a different story.

These notes were reviewed by Don in March 2016. Prices have been held to the 2015 levels and these have been noted.
