It's time you let yourself in on the secret of Shepperton Marina, one of the finest and best-equipped marinas on the Thames.

Set in a charming, leafy backwater, it extends over forty acres through a series of delightful lakes, bordered by grassy banks and established woodland.

At first glance, it's hard to imagine that this tranquil setting offers such a convenient location.  Yet it has direct access to the main channel of the Lower Thames and the heart of London is barely 30 minutes away by road.  Truly, the best of all worlds for the discerning boat owner.

There is so much to explore in the locality, where riverside attractions include historic Runnymede - setting for the signing of the Magna Carta, Royal Windsor, the palace of Hampton Court and Kew with its famous botanical gardens.  If your sights are set on more distant horizons, the tidal Thames at Teddington is only two locks away, giving you the freedom to discover the Medway, Channel ports and even the Continent, between one and two days sail away.

As you might expect of a leading marina, Shepperton offers a comprehensive range of services for the boat owner.  And, of course, our friendly, professional team is on hand seven days a week to provide assistance and advice whenever you need it.  Shepperton is one of the few locations on the Thames that have Diesel and Petrol fuelling pontoons.  We also boast one of the largest boat lifts on the river with a capacity of 35-tonnes.

The respected boat sales and brokerage company, Boat Showrooms Limited, has an office at Shepperton Marina.  Established in 1967, they sell hundreds of new and pre-owned boats every year, including small cabin cruisers and river craft, sports boats and seagoing motor yachts.  Whether you are buying, selling or part-exchanging, you can rely on them for totally professional service, as well as advice on all boating issues.  Visit their website at www.boatshowrooms.com.
