About Gillingham Marina
Gillingham Marina, set on the River Medway, has built up a fine reputation for its superb facilities and high standard security arrangements.
Situated on the south bank of the River Medway, only eight miles from Sheerness, the Marina lies below the Chatham Historic Dockyard in Gillingham Reach. Five miles downstream of Rochester Bridge, Gillingham Marina is an ideal base for both local cruising on the Medway and Thames or more extended voyages to the East Coast and to France.
It lies in a sheltered position from winter winds and, being just 5 miles from the M2 on the Medway Towns Northern Link Road, it offers an attractive alternative to the South Coast.
There is good access to the Locked Basin with + /- 4½hrs HW and with + /-2 to 21 /2 hrs HW for the Tidal basin.
Having awarded the Marina Five Gold Anchors, The Yacht Harbour Association believes it to rank among the best in the country. We think you will agree. We look forward to seeing you.

Gillingham Marina in November sunshine, filmed by Peter Emmons of Scenic Aerial Images
This is our second year and we couldn't be more happy with it. Excellent, well maintained facilities, together with a friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated staff team.
My partner keeps his boat there-the facilities, toilet and shower rooms are excellent and the club house if lovely. A very good place to have a social life as well as having a sailing one .
Loving the new lifestyle on the water.
The marina is an attractive place with many friendly faces. It has the advantage of a bar and restaurant and a sports centre with all the facilities required.
Everyone here is willing to lend a hand with whatever you need to know. My boat was delivered on a lorry so the canopy had been removed. Within 5 mins of looking at all the parts three people arrived to give a hand. Most appreciated and thanks to Mark, Mick & Mick.
Lovely place such a nice place to stay, would live on my boat there if the wife would let me lol :-)
Lovely friendly people, fantastic bar and restaurant, made to feel very welcome, the Carvery was excellent as usual, keep up the good work.
It is very nice marina, quiet and peaceful, accessible at all times apart from 1.5 hours either side of low water. The entrance is protected by a boom and is easy even at maximum flood/ebb. Facilities are good and the staff are very friendly. Big chandlery, also a large, working boatyard.
There is a small bar which also does food but it is only open at weekends. There is a Tesco Express and one pub nearby but not much else unless you get a taxi to Rochester.
Indeed. Looked after us and Ghibly on return from Sardinia. Very friendly.
If I'm here I know in having a nice day
Fab place �� fab people �� very warm and friendly atmosphere a real homely feel �� luv the pub aswell ���
Brilliant day. So much food to choose from. Music to suit every one
Beautiful marina, can't wait to spend more time there , very nice and chic �
As somebody who works in the Marine Industry along with previous experience in Sales and Customer Service I am delighted to say that my experience today in your chandlery was exemplary, a bright, friendly, honest and helpful team you had there. Understanding my needs and producing a box full of stock items for me to complete a Hull repaint on a friends boat, this was an extremely pleasant experience.
I would recommend this Chandlery happily, wishing you all every success....! ���
A very beautiful place to be, great place for a yacht with excellent gardens with play park for kids
