Harbour Information

The Kingston Boatyard is accessed from Kingston Road in East Cowes, a two minute drive or 10 minute walk from Cowes Floating Bridge in East Cowes, and just 3 minutes’ drive from the Red Funnel East Cowes vehicle ferry terminal.

Approaching from the water, Kingston Wharf is just south of Cowes Floating Bridge and sits just in front of the two imposing power station chimneys.

As an open boatyard, we are happy for you to do your own work, engage a contractor or ask the team at Kingston to carry out the work. Flexibility is key at this extensive facility for boat storage, maintenance and chandlery supplies.

Kingston Boatyard has lifting and storage facilities for boats up to 25m and 40 tonnes GW, including multihulls at all states of tide. Once a vessel has been lifted, we have a custom wash-down facility with high-pressure cleaning and sump drainage system. Your boat can then be transferred within the yard using the 40-tonne hoist or a self-propelled boat mover which has a maximum lift capacity of 30 tonnes.

On arrival by boat, we have limited availability of waiting pontoons and by road, car parking is available. The road gates are closed outside normal working hours and a code is required for access.
