The marshland of North Kent is very similar to the Anglian shores across
the estuary, but lacking the sheltered harbours and small marinas that
nestle in the creeks of Essex and beyond.
An exception to this rule is Swale Marina, still known to some as "Jarman's
Boatyard", tucked at the head of Conyer Creek, running into the eastern
end of the Swale behind the Isle of Sheppey.
Swale Marina is situated in the picturesque village of Conyer, a typical
North Kent marshland village with white timber clad houses. The Ship Inn
Public House in the village offers both bar snacks and restaurant meals.
About a mile and a half from Conyer lies the larger village of Teynham
which has a mainline railway station serving the London - Dover line.
Crispins Fish and Chip Restaurant, the Dover Castle Public House and Restaurant,
Chinese and Indian Take Aways and grocery supplies can also be found in
Teynham. |

| Swale Marina has outstanding rural views across
the marshlands and fields, the Saxon Shore-way offers riverside
walks in the area which is renowned for its abundance of bird life,
with the bird sanctuaries of Elmley and Fowley Island on its door-step.
Conyer has long been associated with boating and barges, which used
to be built here. It was a major outlet for locally made bricks
that were carried up the Thames by Thames barges to build much of
London in the 19th and early 20th Century.
Swale Marina offers far more than just a mooring for your boat;
it is a place to enjoy, a place to stay and it is a boating centre,
which caters for all the family.
Swale Marina is well placed for exploring the sheltered waters
and creeks of the River Swale and Medway. It offers good access
to the River Thames, Thames Estuary and the English Channel alike.
The warm and friendly Conyer Cruising Club is on site and is very
active with social events, club cruises and the Spring Tide series
racing. New members are always welcome.

| Situated on the North Kent coast, Swale Marina is
convenient for both road and rail networks - being only 12 minutes
from the Junction 6 of the M2 at Faversham and one and a half miles
from the mainline railway station at Teynham. Conyer is close to
the many attractions at nearby Canterbury, Rochester, Chatham and
surrounding Medway area.
Swale Marina offers the boating enthusiast everything from a beautiful
location to keep your boat, with pontoon berths, hot shower and
toilet facilities, workshops, slipway, scrubbing posts, brokerage,
travel lift and craneage, to covered storage and fully equipped
Osmosis and Interspray centre. |

|
 |
We can accommodate over 150 boats on the
pontoon berths and hard-standing and our natural harbour provides
sheltered water in all weathers. There is water and electricity
to the pontoons. Supplies of gas and diesel are available
when required.
Tidal access to the marina is between one and a half to one
hour either side of high water - depending on draft of boat,
tidal height and weather conditions.
The boat yard facilities offer on-site repairs to all types
of boat, whether they are modern GRP, traditional timber or
steel.
We are an approved Osmosis and Interspray centre and can
recondition your boat to look like new.
Lifting facilities include a 13 Tonne travel hoist, 30 Tonne
mobile crane and 30 Tonne slipway. |

| |
| Covered storage and hard standing serve for both
annual boat maintenance and the DIY boat builder.
Engine maintenance and repair facilities are on site as is the
sail-maker Wilkinson Sails.
