Hull Marina is a marina for pleasure boats situated in the English city of Kingston upon Hull. It was opened in 1983 on the site of the former Railway Dock and Humber Dock [1] and is managed by British Waterways Marinas Limited (BWML). [2]
The marina is home to 270 berths, spread across Humber Dock and Railway Dock, [1] as well as a boat yard serviced by a 50-tonne boat hoist. Access through the lock to the Humber estuary is possible at high water ±3 hours. [2] The basin outside the lock has a "waiting wall" for vessels to tie up to while waiting to enter the lock, although this dries out at low water. [3]
Railway Dock and Humber Dock are separated by a lifting pedestrian bridge, which is lifted to allow access for watercraft. [4]
The Spurn Lightship moored in the marina acts as a museum. [5] The area immediately around the marina has also played host to the City's Folk & Maritime Festival [6] and Humber Street Sesh. [7]
