Welcome to WicorMarine Yacht Haven

Established in 1966, WicorMarine Yacht Haven offers the discerning boat owner an alternative to the modern marina. Choose a deepwater or tidal, walk-ashore or mid-river mooring with great access in a beautiful location. Only ½ hour from Portsmouth Harbour entrance with no lock to negotiate, simply cast off and you’re away. By road, we’re only 5 minutes from the M27, although you wouldn’t know it, we’re surrounded by lush green pasture and the pontoons are overlooked by a protected nature reserve.

SERVICES

Visitors

Visitors are welcome all year round, subject to availability. Please call us ahead of your arrival, and we will allocate a space.

Moorings

Our deepwater pontoons are suitable for yachts up to 20 metres LOA. You can choose from a walk-ashore berth or a standard mid-river berth which is accessed by dinghy from the end of the causeway.

Storage

Hardstanding storage for 150 boats with a full-service slipway. Owner-maintenance is encouraged, and we maintain a comprehensive list of approved contractors for the jobs you can’t handle.

Boatyard Services

We can handle vessels up to 12 tons and 1.8m draft for storage ashore. Vessels are offloaded ashore on boat stands and traditional shores saving the cost of purchasing and storing cradles. With a long reach Merlo Telehandler and Manitou forklift, we can remove and install engines, step and unstep masts or carry out masthead work in situ.

Chandlery

Our facilities include a carefully-stocked chandlery for your repair and maintenance requirements. We can place special orders with our comprehensive list of suppliers to offer you competitive prices on more specialist products.

Repairs

We have all the facilities you need for an extensive refit or restoration project and are happy to discuss long-term storage requirements with you. Our extensive list of contacts and relationships with all manner of marine trades are at your disposal.

Ed Derbyshire

We have had a good season too and we would very much like to continue our walk on berth with the complete package for next year! Thanks for making a great place to socialise, do the 1000 boat jobs that always need doing and a super sailing base – plus, of course, your very friendly and helpful team!

We all enjoy Wicor … The moment we pass through the barrier into the yard we are on quality time and the unwinding experience can’t be matched by the marina environments elsewhere around the Solent.

My first acquaintance with Wicormarine was on my uncle’s 36’ Hillyard in 1968. I kept my first boat there from 1972 and my present boat has been there since I sailed her down from East Anglia in 1991. I have found Scott and his team to be helpful and welcoming, the facilities meet my requirements and are regularly upgraded, and the moorings are well sheltered plus deep enough for my keel. Other benefits are the peaceful and pleasant surroundings, ample car parking, chandlery, café and undercover work benches/mast storage etc. I am content which is why I have been there so long.

Can I take this opportunity to congratulate you and the team on all the hard work you’ve been putting in to improve and maintain your business. Salt Cafe, work on the jetty and pontoons etc., are I’m sure just the visible tip of pretty big iceberg. I hope your efforts bring their just rewards.

Since we moved to WicorMarine in 2007, my wife and I have found it a great place to moor and store our yacht. Scott and his staff have always been extremely kind and helpful, the rates are extremely competitive, and the overall service is excellent. I was sad a couple of years back to learn that my neighbour had moved away from Wicor. Imagine my surprise when he and his yacht returned in a few months, saying how mad he was to try somewhere else, as he realised how good it was at Wicor!

Whilst you’re in this neck of the woods, we highly recommend visiting this busy little coastal café within the marina, which is open every day, all day. They serve great coffee and brunch, cakes and snacks. And on a Friday evening, they do the most amazing sourdough pizzas – Best to book in advance or grab a takeout.
