Local Information

Set on the Sussex coastline, just East of Eastbourne, Sovereign Harbour comprises five harbours that together provide over 800 berths and make up the UK's largest composite marina.

The inner basins are entered via one of two 24-hour high capacity locks and along with floating pontoons, these locks make accessing the marina a breeze - even for a novice.
