Enhancement of English Marinas

The Yacht Haven Group have completed a £1m investment into Plymouth’s waterfront in a bid to enhance the waterfront and satisfy the city’s growing appetite for new and fresh culinary experiences. The success of the venture will provide a blueprint for potential further investment into the six other UK based marinas supported by the Yacht Haven Group. The improvements along the English South Coast will no doubt make this already ideal coast for exploring by yacht, a more attractive destination for sailing enthusiasts.
