Hull Marina
Hull Marina is a marina for pleasure boats situated in the English city of Kingston upon Hull. It was opened in 1983 on the site of the former Railway Dock and Humber Dock[1] and is managed by British Waterways Marinas Limited (BWML).[2]
The marina is home to 270 berths, spread across Humber Dock and Railway Dock,[1] as well as a boat yard serviced by a 50-tonne boat hoist. Access through the lock to the Humber estuary is possible at high water ±3 hours.[2] The basin outside the lock has a "waiting wall" for vessels to tie up to while waiting to enter the lock, although this dries out at low water.[3]
Railway Dock and Humber Dock are separated by a lifting pedestrian bridge, which is lifted to allow access for watercraft.[4]
Attractions and events
The Spurn Lightship moored in the marina acts as a museum.[5] The area immediately around the marina has also played host to the City's Folk & Maritime Festival[6] and Humber Street Sesh.[7]
