New waterfront offices, workshop units and boat refit facilities will be available from spring 2025 following a £1.5m redevelopment of the boatshed at Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour, on the UK south coast.

The award-winning marina on the Beaulieu River was recently reconfigured and extended with a £2.5m investment by Beaulieu Enterprises. Now, the latest project moves from the water to the boatyard.

Following the £1.5m redevelopment of the boatshed at Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour, marine-based businesses will have the opportunity to relocate to one of the most desirable marinas on the south coast. The new-look Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour will comprise new waterfront offices, business units, workshops and meeting rooms.

To cope with the foreseen high demand, notes of interest are now being taken for: 

  • Offices 
  • Meeting rooms 
  • Workshop units 
  • Brand new boat refit facilities

Interested businesses can apply online.

Letting terms are available on application and include parking, a communal kitchen, electricity and Wi-Fi (subject to service charge). They can also include the use of meeting rooms and a secure leased line share to offer guaranteed bandwidth.

Preference will be given to tenants who provide value-added services for owners of boats on the marina’s 200 walk-ashore pontoon berths and 300 river moorings.  

Beaulieu Enterprises’ managing director, Russell Bowman, says: “The redevelopment of the boatshed will create spaces with panoramic views across the Beaulieu River, which will make ideal offices and meeting rooms for marine businesses to relocate.”

He adds: “After recently celebrating 50 years of Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour, this is our exciting next phase to ensure that we provide the best facilities to match our services and take us forward into the next chapter.” 

Luxury facilities have already been built as part of recent upgrades, while harbourmaster Wendy Stowe and her team are proud to offer a warm welcome for berth and mooring holders as well as more than 10,000 visitors who stay at the yacht harbour each year.  

The facilities at Buckler’s Hard have been recognised by a 5 Gold Anchor accreditation from The Yacht Harbour Association. Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour was also voted the best place for sailors to call home when it won the prestigious Marina of the Year title in British Yachting’s awards in 2022.
