Endeavour Quay, the highly equipped professional superyacht repair and refit facility situated on Gosport waterfront, overlooking Portsmouth Harbour, is providing marine businesses with the possibility to operate on the site. From this month, the famous and historic boatyard has further office, storage as well as workshop space available for marine businesses to occupy.
This busy yard regularly plays host to big names in the world of yacht racing including Alex Thomson and Mike Golding, as well as the Clipper fleet and yachts such as the classic J class.
Endeavour Quay also has a strong commercial client base including naval, workboat, and safety vessels; and with more than five marinas and circa 5000 leisure craft in Portsmouth Harbour, it also welcomes a large number of privately owned sail and power boats throughout the year.
The marine trade centre hopes to attract new tenants to further enhance the service offer to boat owners in the region. Already home to many marine businesses including a chandlery, rigger, sail maker, engineer, surveyor and specialist painter, the boatyard provides the perfect base for new and existing businesses to operate.
Endeavour Quay plays an important role in Gosport’s thriving marine services hub; the town is a marine leisure centre with numerous marinas and boatyards located in a busy commercial harbour. There are excellent transport links with Portsmouth Harbour, the train station and ferry terminal are only a short ferry ride away with direct trains to London Waterloo, Gatwick Airport, and the Isle of Wight. Gosport also has major road links and Southampton Airport is less than an hour away.
A member of the British Marine Federation’s Superyacht UK, Endeavour Quay has a strong affiliation with the UK superyacht industry. The large undercover boat sheds, 180 tonne travel hoist, 24 hour deep water access and no air draft restriction mean the yard is the ideal spot for bigger yachts based and visiting the region; vessels in excess of 24 metres often reside on-site for refits and repairs.
With spaces suitable for storage, offices and workshops, all units are fully serviced with power, water, data communication links and lighting.
