Fantastic PBO Marina Guide

-

I must commend PBO on the publicatio­n earlier this year (PBO Summer 2017) of your guide to the marinas around our coast.

On a trip from the North Sea round to Milford Haven this year, the informatio­n proved invaluable, not only with regard to access arrangemen­ts, depths etc but also in terms of costs.

Being able to quickly check the facts and refer to the contact details was a godsend, saving us both time and money in what was a difficult trip with ever changing weather patterns that shot holes in our original passage plan.

Best marina on our trip: Eastbourne, clean, well laid out, friendly and helpful staff.

Most expensive: Falmouth. £35 for a brief overnight stay with no staff apparently available to provide gate codes to facilities.

Most confusing (but ultimately very helpful): Portland which was poorly lit for yachts entering and trying to find an allocated berth. Jeremy Percy By email
