Reviews for Sutton Harbour Marina berth holders
We’ve been lucky enough to get some wonderful feedback from our berth holders, so you don’t just have to take our word for it!
Visitor Nick explained that Sutton Harbour Marina is “Simply the best marina in Plymouth! A fantastic setting, right in the Barbican surrounded by pubs and eateries. A great place to eat, drink, see and be seen. The marina itself is secure and protected from the sea by a lock, so no worries about stormy weather. My boat is right underneath the Plymouth Prawn aka “The Leviathan”, you couldn’t pick a better setting. The staff are very friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Why go anywhere else?”
