The Launch

The launch has finished its total rebuild and is now back in the water again, fully operational. It is running 0900 – 1700 every day (pre-book only please, while COVID regulations are still in force) and outside these hours by arrangement with Mark.

We have a keen new driver starting with us, Lewis, who is currently getting familiar with the boat and operation.

Conwy Marina Notice to Mariners

Due to some minor issues experienced during the routine sill gate maintenance works, we have elected to keep the sill gate buoyant during this weekend given the inclement weather, and pending further investigations works and tests. An update will be provided to all in due course.

Traffic lights will remain on RED throughout the weekend. Please contact the marina office for clearance levels above the sill gate before accessing and/or egressing the marina.
