WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS A HAPPY NEW YEAR

COVID UPDATE 12/01/2021

Government guidance on boat maintenance during lockdown:

Maintaining second homes, caravans, boats and other assets is not generally a reasonable excuse for leaving home. However, people may leave home to secure their second home, caravan or boat in order to avoid it posing a risk of harm/injury to themselves or others.

This guidance is taken directly from the gov.uk site found here

Latest Government advice for recreational boating:

British Marine have had it confirmed by the UK Government that boating is a form of exercise and therefore is an accepted excuse to leave home in England. There are several important caveats to this, primarily that members of the public cannot travel out of their local area to reach their vessel and that all exercise must be done in line with government guidance i.e. can only be done with members of 1 household/bubble or one other and social distancing is maintained. Members of the public are urged to check with the local navigation authority, harbour authorities and the Marinas for local rules before travelling to their vessels.

DfT released the following statement:

"We have received clarification on guidance relating to boating and leisure activities from CO/DCMS.

Therefore, we can confirm that boating is allowed as exercise (in England). This covers all sailing boats/yachts as long as they abide by the gathering limits, social distance rules and stay local rules.”

We would like to remind all boaters of their responsibility to stay safe, abide by the guidance and laws (including local restrictions) and keep others around them safe when participating on any on water exercise.

Many thanks for your continued understanding.

COVID UPDATE 05/01/2021

Obviously the country will go back into a full lockdown from midnight tonight as announced by the PM yesterday.

It is unclear at the moment with regards those in our local area being able to access the site for checking on craft and we are awaiting clarity of this, however the main March 2020 lockdown saw us having close the site completely and no-one was permitted to access the site as per Government instructions.

Marinas were classed the same as Campsites etc with no-one being allowed access the site at all.

Due to the instructions of staying at home unless for essential travel i.e shopping, work etc, we can only assume that we are to fully close the site as to not encourage people to travel to us. If we are allowed to let people gain access to the site, this will be for owners of craft in the immediate local area of Uphill Village only, this does not include Weston-super-Mare.

The Government will also be implementing fines for those that travel out of their immediate local area (i.e. town or village) for non-essential travel.

Those that are not in our immediate area are to stay local to home, and not travel to us regardless as per Government guidelines that can be viewed here: National lockdown: Stay at Home

We will still be fully contactable by email and telephone, please do leave a message and we will get back to you.

All invoices can be paid via bank transfer, or telephone by card.

We will be checking all craft daily as we usually do, but if there is anything essential that you need us to help with, please do let us know.

We will have contractors available for any urgent works that you may need to complete.
We will keep you informed in due course of any updates.

Please stay at home, stay local, stay safe, follow the rules and let’s get this gone so we can reopen once and for all.

‍

We have trot moorings with pontoon access for dinghies. Craft will float for approx 3 hours on most tides, longer on higher tides. We now have mooring sites available from £230 per annum. Dinghies can also be based at a pontoon by our yard in an extended access area for use to attend craft on our moorings or the River Axe.

Pontoon moorings also available on Tidal river and our Marine Lake for long or short term use.

All facilities available, toilets, showers, washrooms and cafe just outside of our main gate.

Craft are occasionally offered for sale.
