Fambridge Yacht Haven

Nestled along the sleepy river crouch, fambridge is a jewel in the crown of the east coast, finds donna eastlake.

F ambridge Yacht Haven lies along the peaceful and picture perfect River Crouch on the east coast of England. With direct deep-water access to the coast, it’s ideally located for exploring the east coast rivers and swatchways, offering a treasure trove of anchorages along the way.

Fambridge itself is a beautiful rural idyll, offering quiet cruising for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of busy town and city marinas. With open fields as far as the eye can see, it really is the place to get away from it all and breathe lung-fulls of clean air.

It offers the back-to-basics family holiday many crave, with watersports on the river, mudlarking and fishing on the shore, and wildlife watching at the Essex Wildlife Trust. The salt marshes, tidal flats and grasslands around the River Crouch are an area of international importance for wildlife and wildlife conservation. There are numerous Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) due to the range of rare, unique and protected birds native to the area.

You can also visit Marsh Farm Animal Adventure Park in South Woodham Ferrers, with lessons for kids on farming techniques and the chance to meet the newborn animal residents.

There are seasonal highlights too, with the annual Fambridge River Festival taking place in May, attracting classic yachts from around the east coast and further afield.

For food, Fambridge offers the kind of English countryside fare you’d hope for, with the wonderful Ferryboat Inn. Offering traditional pub food, it’s conveniently located a stone’s-throw from the marina. There’s also a tearoom and a cafe within the Yacht Haven, serving freshly cooked food and warming drinks.

Marina Guide

Spread over two sites, Fambridge Yacht Haven offers everything you need for a short or long-term stay, and you can completely refit your boat while you’re there, should you need to.

The two sites comprise the 220-berth (vessels up to 60ft LOA) Yacht Haven to the north, offering sheltered pontoon berthing, and the Yacht Station, with dedicated 120m visitor pontoon, mud berths and access to 120 deep water swinging moorings, to the east. In addition to this, there’s extensive hard standing boat storage for over 700 boats.

Walking around Fambridge, you quickly notice the friendly, welcoming environment it offers. People stand chatting in the boatyard, marina staff buzz around working on boats and preparing transport, and marina Director, Danyal, is always on hand to oversee operations.

As with all Yacht Haven marinas, it’s finished to a high standard, with modern, clean and very spacious facilities, and you’ll receive a welcome pack on arrival, with information on marina facilities and tourist attractions.

Fambridge Yacht Haven is located on the north bank of the River Crouch. Approaching from the east coast, you’ll pass through Burnham Fairway, Essex Marina, and the commercial Baltic Wharf at Wallasea Island on your port (south) side. You’ll also pass the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club and Crouch Yacht Club, on your starboard (north) side.

The river is wide and deep, up to North Fambridge and can be accessed at all states of tide. Keep clear of Bridgemarsh Island, a very large area of flooded marshland on your starboard side. It can be completely submerged at very high tides and if you stray from the channel, you risk running aground.

Approaching North Fambridge, you’ll see Fambridge Yacht Haven’s Yacht Station on your starboard side. The Yacht Station’s mid-river moorings and the 120m visitors’ pontoon are clearly visible from the channel as they reach out into the river. If approaching at night, the 120m visitors’ pontoon is made visible by two single, green flashing navigation lights, one at either end (FL(3)G.4s). The pontoon itself is also lit to allow people to get safely in and out of their boats.

For Fambridge Yacht Haven marina, pass the swinging moorings and continue on, for another half a mile, to reach the entrance to the marina channel. It’s a good idea to keep towards the south side of the river, as traffic can be busy around the visitors’ pontoon on the north side.

To enter Stow Creek, you’ll see a single special mark known as Stow Post marking the entrance on your starboard side. The post is lit with a single flashing yellow light (QF(4)Y.8s) both day and night.

Enter the creek, keeping Stow Post to port, and keep within the buoyed channel leading towards the marina on your starboard side.

Contact marina staff (CH 80) on arrival, and they’ll talk you in and give any mooring assistance required.

Cruising Grounds

Fambridge is perfectly placed for east coast river cruising. Sitting along the River Crouch, it offers easy access to the River Blackwater, River Stour, River Orwell and River Deben. In fact you could happily spend an entire summer exploring all that this beautiful part of the country has to offer.

Particular highlights in the area include Yokesfleet Creek. Anchor on the corner of Potton Point next to Devils Reach on the River Roach, and you’ll experience one of the best locations in the country for seal watching. Seals use the mud flats on the banks of the island to slide into the water and they’re often very interested in visiting boats.

Another hidden east coast river gem is Osea Island. Situated in the River Blackwater, Osea has an interesting history including its role in secret operations during World War 1. The River Blackwater offers a deepwater passage to the south of Osea Island. A popular anchorage nestles off the southeast corner of the island, known locally as Barnacle. From there you can explore the ancient port town of Maldon nearby. Steeped in maritime history, Maldon boasts a huge collection of original Thames Barges and maritime museums, including the Museum of Power. You can take part in one of the evening ‘ghost walks’ or dine in one of the many local pubs and restaurants.

If you have the time and are looking to venture further afield, then Fambridge is a popular ‘final port’ for sailors from the UK, wanting to make the trip over to the Netherlands, Belgium and northern France. With a range of marine services on-site, a fully operational boatyard and good access to the Channel, a lot of sailors use Fambridge as a place to prepare their boat for longer passages, before making the trip when the weather is favourable.

The Netherlands is particularly favoured by those who prefer river cruising, as options are plentiful, with all-tide deepwater access. The Deltawerken, a series of waterways that reaches the coast in the south west of the Netherlands, makes this one of the most popular cruising grounds in Europe. The maze of stunning rivers and canals provides over 1,000km of waterways to explore, extending through the Netherlands and beyond.
