Best Boat clubs in United Kingdom

Thanks so much Richard and team. Our boat was stored here in the boatyard for the best part of 2 years. All the staff without exception have made a contribution to a really positive experience. Boatwork pratically every day is sometimes daunting especially in the middle of winter. It makes a difference to be greeted by a smile, helpful and professional service. In addition to this the businesses on site have been excellent too. A special mention for Nathan Bone and Lewis Marine as well as a friendly and helpful chandlery. A great cafe as well. Thanks guys you're all awesome.

Amazing service. I’m a visitor and they have looked after me so well, super impressive. It’s the first time I have ever seen a marina team have the boat tucked away in the stack before I have unloaded my bags into the car!! Definitely recommend. Matt A. Moonraker.

I started utilising YHQ drystack for the first time approximately 4 years ago and have stored 4 boats there in total over that time. It took me just over 6 months to secure a place after being placed on their waiting list.

I cannot praise them enough at YHQ! They are professional, courteous, friendly and regularly go above and beyond what you could expect from a marina.

From Lorna and Julie in the office who are always on hand for bookings, logistics and finance, to the lads in the yard, Rich, Steve, Mitch, Kev, Lee, Paul and Tom, who all work so incredibly hard and are so helpful at all times. I do not think I have ever seen any of them without a smile on their face and ready to help!

In short, a fantastic facility, with a fantastic team who's service, in my view is unrivalled and I can say this with confidence having moored at other marinas over the years - they just don't compare to the Dry stack. No wonder there is always a waiting list to get a place here!

Thank you so much to everyone for always making my life so much easier.

Very well run attractive trout fishery. Nice welcome, everyone friendly and plenty of fish to be caught.

Great trout fishing friendly bailiffs, you can drive around most of the water, ideal for anglers who can not walk too far and enjoy their bank fishing.

Lovely boat yard/buildings

Great cafe on site along with marine engineers etc and shops.

The staff have always been absolutely amazing. Very polite friendly and helpful.

My boat has been here over a year with absolutely no problem at all.

Lovely boats and lovlier people

Lovely and well laid out marina. Boats are all kept well and a very scenic view of the Thames

Very professional set up, hard fishing

I live here it's good

Lovely location. I would love to see the menu being updated. Very limited for a vegan, however, I’ve never eaten anything I didn’t like there. Staff are all wonderful. Toilets are a bit of a pain to use at the back of the car park but I think that will change hopefully when the Mess Room get their own!

As always an excellent day. The boats are moored in numbered bays and tied both fore and aft so getting in and out is easy. There is also a wheelchair accessible boat. All have good strong engines which are easy to start.

Then there's the lodge, which sits above the boathouse. This has a comfortable seating area with tables where you can take your lunch break with great views out across the reservoir. There is a kitchen with the obligatory kettle and fridge and there's also a fridge, microwave and proper cooker.

The reservoir speaks for itself with excellent fishing to be had whether by boat or bank.

I would strongly encourage a visit to experience this jewel yourself.

Tight lines!

Beautiful

Superb venue. Well looked after. Highly professional service in the office and on the ground. Stunningly beautiful. Can get busy around the hot spots, but plenty of quiet areas can be found if you don't mind walking that bit further and/or fishing into the wind.

Walking the Thames

Been there several times to see a friend. Beautiful place by the Thames. Loads of activities by the river.

Nice

Attractive spot with houses boats.

Lovely well run fishery and well stocked. Easy to bank fish every area because of no obstacles behind you, so ideal for beginners.
Surprisingly the north arm of the res is not fished much and I know many of the bigger over-wintered fish are there.

Great fishing venue and nature reserve with good walking paths, very helpful and friendly staff

New skis and always good availability

We've been using Yacht Haven Quay to store our during the winter for a couple of years & cannot rate it highly enough.

The staff are very helpful & friendly.

The cafe is great.

The chandlery whilst not carrying a massive stock is very knowledgeable & helpful

First time fly fishing, met lots of lovely people only to willing to help with advice for a novice. Now hooked, pardon the pun, booked second visit.
Great value fishing in a beautiful setting.

Really high standard dry-stack with excellent facilities. Staff is very professional and friendly.

Just ensure you don't show up too late if you want to have your boat lifted out of the water. On busy days you have to be there at least an hour before they leave.

A first class facility in a great location. Keeping my boat on dry land is so much better; easy to work on, no need to anti foul, no need to worry about bad weather. Perfect. Great cafe too, new loos and showers, loads of parking and a "happy to help" staff who always put my boat in the water at the drop of a hat. I have been here for seven years now and would not consider changing.
