Highlights at Chatham Maritime Marina: News and updates for our customers

Firstly, a huge thank you from the Chatham Maritime Marina team to you, our amazing berth holders and customers, for keeping your boat with us or using our services over the past year. What a year it has been!

While the weather this season has been rather unseasonal at times, activity levels remained consistent, and it’s been fantastic to see so many of you out and about, enjoying your time on the water over the past few months.

As winter sets in, our team is now focusing on the winter lift-out and site maintenance programme, as we prepare the marina for the 2025 season.

Ahead of this, let’s reflect on some of the improvements, activities, and services undertaken here at Chatham Maritime Marina in 2024. We’ll also share updates on further developments planned for 2025.

Marina Team

This year has seen some changes in our team. We welcomed Emma and Amber back from maternity leave and bid farewell to Aaron, Max, Richard, Chelsea, and Lily. We’re grateful for their hard work and the memories they created and wish them well in their future endeavours.

We’re pleased to welcome Jamie-Lauren and Joe as our new Marina Operatives, along with Michael, who has moved to the full-time team. You’ll also continue to see Charlie and Wayne supporting us. Don’t hesitate to say hello when you see them around the pontoons or office.

You can learn more about our team on the ‘Meet the Team’ board in the marina facilities block or on our website.

Marina Improvements

What a fantastic season 2024/2025 has been for investment! We’ve invested in:

• Boatyard equipment and replaced blocks in the boatyard.
• Installed new boilers for the toilets and showers.
• Upgraded our WiFi, offering faster connections directly to your boat.
• Refurbished the external area of our marina facilities.

Marina Events

Looking ahead, 2025 promises an even more exciting events calendar. Highlights include:

• The return of our popular Trolley of Treats throughout the year.
• Regular ‘Meet the Manager’ opportunities.
• A special event in partnership with our on-site broker, Network Yacht Brokers Kent.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for the latest details.

Otium Partners

This year, we added Copper Rivet Distillery to our Otium Partners scheme. Now, you can spend your Otium points on a fancy G&T while enjoying the stunning view over the River Medway!

We’re working hard to secure more discounts and offers with local businesses to benefit our berth holders. Stay updated by checking our social media pages. If you’re not receiving our emails, log into MyMDL and update your preferences so you don’t miss out.

Looking Forward

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience during our recent lock repair works. Investment in our marina remains a priority, and we look forward to another season of smooth and enjoyable sailing in 2025.

Thank you again for being part of our community at Chatham Maritime Marina.

Warm regards from the Chatham Maritime Marina Team.
