24-Hour Access to the boating delights of the Kent and Sussex Coast

Set on the beautiful Sussex heritage coastline, just east of Eastbourne, Sovereign Harbour comprises five harbours that together provide over 800 marina 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 access to the marina easy - even for the novice boater.

Sovereign Harbour's outstanding location on the Sussex coastline also offers easy cruising along the south coast - east to the Kentish coastal ports - and west to Premier's Brighton Marina and the delights of the Solent. This marina also makes a great start point for crossing the English Channel to France, Holland or Belgium.

Award winning facilities and service for Boat Owners

On shore, Sovereign Harbour offers superb marina facilities and a professional team of staff is on hand 24 hours a day to assist boat owners. In fact, Sovereign Harbour's first-class facilities and customer service have earned the marina the prestigious Yacht Harbour Association's Five Gold Anchor award, as well as the Royal Yachting Association's Berth Holders' Charter.

Also on shore, 'The Waterfront' with its cosmopolitan mix of bars, restaurants and cafés adds to the laid-back atmosphere and here you can take time to enjoy a meal on the quayside or just relax and watch the world go by. But if you like more action, there's also a popular onsite yacht club, plus just moments away from the marina, you'll find a retail park with an ASDA, a good mix of high street retailers and a multiplex cinema. A little further away still there's the Victorian seaside town of Eastbourne.

Secure and sheltered berthing in Eastbourne

Inside Sovereign Harbour marina there are five separate harbours - an outer tidal harbour and four sheltered inner harbour basins that are accessible through two 24-hour high capacity manned locks. Security on the marina is also 24-hour and CCTV cameras add to the onsite security. Berthing accommodation is first-class too with quality floating pontoons designed for maximum stability and safety; these pontoons can cater for vessels up to 24m in length.  

Well equipped, full service boatyard

Sovereign Harbour offers one of the best-equipped fully-serviced boatyards on the South Coast with lifting facilities that include the use of an Italian Ascom Travel-lift that's capable of lifting up to 50 tonnes with a maximum beam of 5.7m. The lift also supports a 2 tonne crane that is ideal for engine lifts or mast work.
