Scheme description
In late summer 2005 Camper & Nicholsons Yachting Ltd made a decision to close down its boatbuilding activity at the famous Gosport boatyard and relocate production to Finland. The site was subsequently acquired by Beaulieu Estates LLP who are keen to ensure that the site is retained for marine related purposes.
Role of Marina Projects
Marina Projects has been working alongside the new site owners to retain the unique facilities for the benefit of marine related industries. The site will be operated by Marina Projects for the benefit of a broad range of commercial marine users and in support of the marine industry within the central south region of the UK. Undercover and open yard boat storage and commercial space will be available to marine companies and boat owners on flexible terms. The site provides some 4,250m2 of secure undercover space for boats up to 40m (130ft) in length.
To be known as Endeavour Quay, the site will offer 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.
The nearby superyacht and deep water berthing facilities available within Portsmouth Harbour complements the boat lifting and servicing facilities provided at Endeavour Quay.
