In 2017, St. Katharine Docks underwent marina renovations, transforming it into a thriving waterside community with 185 berths across three basins for vessels up to 40m long. Whether you are a visitor or have a long-term berth contract, the marina offers outstanding facilities, services and a range of enjoyable nautical events and year-round activities.
