Scheme description
In late summer 2005 Camper & Nicholsons Yachting Ltd made a decision to pull out if its famous Gosport boatyard and return production facilities to Finland. The site was subsequently acquired by Beaulieu Estates LLP, an organisation keen to retain the yards use for marine related purposes.
Role of Marina Projects
Marina Projects Ltd has been working alongside the new site owners to retain the unique facilities for the benefit of marine related industries. Marina Projects Ltd has established an operating subsidiary company, Endeavour Quay Ltd, to operate the site for the benefit of a broad range of commercial marine users and in support of the marine industry within the central south area of the UK. Undercover and open yard boat storage and commercial space is available to marine companies and boat owners on flexible terms. The site provides some 4,250sq m of secure undercover space for boats up to 40m (130ft) in length.
Now officially named Endeavour Quay, the site offers lift out, storage and maintenance facilities for all types of craft. The site is served by a 180 tonne boat hoist and a dock area providing deep water access at all states of the tide.
