Hull Marina


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, Hull|Humber Dock] and is managed by British Waterways Marinas Limited.
The marina is home to 270 berths, spread across Humber Dock and Railway Dock, 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. 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.
Railway Dock and Humber Dock are separated by a lifting pedestrian bridge, which is lifted to allow access for watercraft.

Attractions and events

The Spurn Lightship moored in the marina acts as a museum. The area immediately around the marina has also played host to the City's Folk & Maritime Festival and Humber Street Sesh.
