On the water More ways to float your boat This year has seen further development at Bembridge Boat Storage - a modern storage facility fronting onto Bembridge Harbour - with additional external storage racking, improved and increased capacity inside the Shed, and the slipway being bought back into use. In addition to offering full valet services and general maintenance, newly appointed Manager Stuart Vidler has developed a range of additional services for larger boats using cradles to launch and recover. He says that further investment in equipment and staff training will enable a shrink-wrap service to be offered in the near future, to keep boats pristine over the winter months, whether stored on or off site. For those who prefer to keep their boat afloat over the winter period, Bembridge Harbour is offering walk-ashore pontoon berths at the Duver Marina at a fully-inclusive cost of £375 for boats up to 14m. Looking ahead to summer 2017 - the Harbour will be offering more annual moorings from £500 per annum, fully inclusive.
