The marina featured on BBC Breakfast News this monring during the East Midlands News summary every hour. We were asked to quote on the River Soar Development Strategy which has been given the green light by County and City Council Members in the past week.
It’s great to see some focus on the Leicester Section and lets all hope we see some action very soon.

Rob has lost some laundry! he had a blanket made from beer towels sewn together (St. Austell, Fosters, Tribute, Robinsons, etc). This item was put through the wash yesterday afternoon and when he popped back to pick it up it had gone. If anyone has seen this blanket, please let us know here at the marina office as Rob really likes it and want’s it back. Cheers!
Someone with a silver mens mountain bike, has locked their bike to someone elses so the poor cyclist who wanted his bike this morning couldn’t use it! The bike is on the rack nearest to the main jetty.
Can the owner with the guilty lock please remove it immediately – or else we will be forced to remove it with power tools to enable poor Glen to get his bike back!
Please do be careful when locking up – lock your bike not your neighbours or else you won’t be our favourite cyclist!
Thanks 
Our lovely little new Day-Boat is here!…well, the shell is! we’re fitting this out over the next few months to hopefully get it ready for the next half term in October – so book your day-out now!
After a few last modifications to the boat trolley and some final calculations, our first widebeam boat was recovered, washed and blacked today. The vessel in question was 65ft long by 11ft beam and after the initial lining up on the trolley the team made relatively light work of it all!
So bookings for wide beam (up to 12ft) boats can now be made at the marina office – all inclusive hull blacking for wide-beam’s from just £7.50 per foot plus VAT or DIY weekend slipway rental & pressure wash from £200 plus VAT.
Well, we know it’s still August but in true organisational form, we have launched our Christmas Day & planned our Christmas Party Season’s offering to all customers.
Christmas Day we have fixed at last years £29.95 per head with the usual 3 courses served at a 12pm and 3pm sittings in our lovely restaurant. Price includes choice of starters, main courses and desserts. We advise prior booking as soon as possible as take up by the public has been very high already and there are limited places.
For the party season we are offering buffet functions with entertainment and all drinks & food fully inclusive for £45 per head – a 10% discount applies to marina berth holders too! There is some fabulous entertainment planned for these events and even if you are part of a smaller party of people, we can arrange to squeeze you in with other parties so you’ll still have a festive crowd to enjoy your office party in.
Entertainment rages from session singers to DJ’s and we will have a full list of events and entertainment on our cafe-bar page on the website as soon as possible.
We are very pleased to announce that our Luxury 2 Bedroom Apartment sleeping 4 to 6 people is now available for short-term rentals & Holiday Lets.
