    Avoid if you can. Nice friendly staff, but not suitable for smaller boats (as in, not superyachts!). The fixed docks are littered with metal fixings (nuts and bolt heads) which will tear a hole in your boat if your fenders move for even a minute. The wake from the channel during the day is horrendous and bashing into the pilings is going to happen.

    We ended up with a hole in the side of the boat from an unprotected bolt sticking out the piling. The marina wouldn't accept any responsibility, and when I asked if they could at least cover it up, they never did even after asking multiple times.

    Anchor out and dinghy in is a much safer option. And considerably cheaper!
