Rare opportunity to acquire Gillingham Marina with on-site extensive redevelopment
The coastal marina site extends to approximately 19.28 acres (7.80 hectares) and provides fully serviced berthing in two basins for up to 491 boats. Marina facilities include The Quarterdeck bar and restaurant, toilet/shower blocks, laundry, children’s playground, refuelling point, helicopter landing pad and on site car park. The site also includes a large chandlery with road frontage onto the A289 (Pier Road) and workshop facilities comprising two boat hoists (65 and 20 tons capacity), crane (one tonne capacity), paint spraying booths for boats up to 26 metres in length, general workshop, shipwrights workshop, engineering & fabrication shop and secure storage area.
There is a 33,026 sq ft (3,068 sq m) Waterfront Leisure Centre with swimming pool, squash and badminton courts, games room, gym and bar/restaurant which has been closed permanently since February 2021 and provides the new owners with an attractive opportunity to reconfigure or redevelop the property, subject to the necessary consents.
The marina is recognised by The Yacht Harbour Association’s Five Gold Anchors award, which it has held for over 25 years.
The marina benefits from excellent road access via the A289/A278 dual carriageway connecting to the M2/A2 and then on to the M20 and M25. A mainline rail service to London Victoria, Charing Cross or St Pancras (45 minutes) is available from Gillingham Railway Station, approximately 1.5 miles away.
Kay Griffiths, says: “Rarely does a marina of this scale come to market, especially with exciting value add opportunities on site, so this is expected to attract a lot of attention. The marina is perfectly situated to provide an ideal base from which to cruise locally on the River Medway or venture further afield with extended voyages to the East Coast and to France.”
