In the latest investment in Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour, a Harbour Master’s RIB has been purchased to give improved access to all reaches of the Beaulieu River.
The Highfield RIB has been named Snipe and, with a 150hp Honda engine, will be used by the yacht harbour team to carry out routine checks, patrols and maintenance, as well as respond to emergency incidents.
Harbour Master Wendy Stowe said: “We’re excited by the purchase of a more powerful RIB, which will provide improved access along the full length of the river. It will be a huge asset to our team.”
The seven-metre RIB, with ‘Harbour Master’ branding, will also be a more visible presence on the Beaulieu River as the team goes about its daily tasks.
The recent purchase follows completion of the yacht harbour’s £2m redevelopment of its boatshed, creating stunning waterfront offices, meeting rooms and workshop bays. Personal tours are being offered of the new facilities, which offers businesses the opportunity to relocate to the award-winning south coast marina.
Lettings include parking, a communal kitchen, electricity, Wi-Fi and air-conditioning, with meeting rooms available to hire by the day or half-day. Businesses can also access a secure leased line share for guaranteed internet speeds. For more details see:
A new marina shop, chandlery and reception with café also recently opened, providing quality food and drink, newly designed gift ranges and boating supplies.
To arrange a tour of the new facilities, call the harbour team on 01590 616200 or email harbour.office@beaulieu.co.uk.
