A unique commercial property opportunity has become available at Fambridge Yacht Haven on the River Crouch, offering a marine business the chance to secure a prime base within one of Essex's most established marinas and boatyards.
The property, comprising a 2023sq/ft boat shed and 320sq/ft workshop, is suited to marine engineering companies, boat repair specialists, boat builders and other marine trades seeking a strategic location with direct access to boat owners and the wider East Coast boating market.
Immediate proximity to customers
Located within Fambridge Yacht Haven, the site benefits from a thriving marina community that includes 200 pontoon berths, over 120 swinging moorings, boatyard lifting and storage, and other local services. As part of the award-winning Yacht Havens Group, occupiers benefit from the strength, reputation and long-term stability of an established marina operator, while retaining the flexibility to run and grow their business independently in direct support of the local boating community.
According to Cathy Burrell, Marina Manager at Fambridge Yacht Haven, the property's greatest strength lies in its immediate proximity to customers.
"Marine businesses succeed when they're close to the boats and close to the owners. Operating from within the marina means being visible, accessible and available to customers exactly when they need you. That's a huge commercial advantage."
- Cathy Burrell, Marina Manager
Businesses benefit from a constant flow of customers
Industry experts regard waterfront commercial space of this nature as increasingly difficult to find, particularly within established marinas where businesses can benefit from a constant flow of customers, visiting vessels and year-round marine activity.
Burrell says the availability of the workshop and hangar represents a rare opening for the right company.
"Properties like this simply don't come onto the market very often. For a marine business looking to grow, relocate or establish a presence on the East Coast, this is a great opportunity to operate from the heart of a busy working marina."

One of the UK's premier boating destinations
The River Crouch has long been recognised as one of the UK's premier boating destinations, attracting sailors, motorboat owners and marine professionals from across the region. Fambridge Yacht Haven itself has developed a strong reputation as a full-service marina and boatyard, supporting a broad range of marine services and businesses.
The workshop and boat shed units offer flexible space suitable for a variety of marine-related operations. Combined with the marina's boatyard infrastructure and established customer base, the property provides an attractive platform for businesses seeking long-term growth.
Burrell believes the successful tenant will become an important part of the marina community.
"We're looking for a business that shares our commitment to supporting boat owners and enhancing the services available at the marina. Whether it's engineering, maintenance, fabrication, marine technology or another specialist field, we're excited to welcome a new operator who can make the most of this fantastic location."
