Few UK Marinas welcome residential craft other than diminutive narrowboats and the occasional Dutch Barge. Port Werburgh, where the largest boat is currently a 150ft converted turbine gunship however, has been purpose-designed and built to cater specifically for the needs of the live-aboard owners providing a range of services and facilities second to none.

The port has been constructed and is managed by Residential Marine Limited. The owner, Denis Swann, his wife Jill and son Jake live at Port Werburgh on their boat, Anserava.They play an active role in the management of the company and are dedicated to seeing that these residential moorings offer the best value in England.

The port itself has 100 comfortable berths with all facilities available. The wide access pontoons are well lit at night. All berths have four strong steel piles at each corner to which a vessel can be securely moored. They are also suitable as warping points making it easier to manoevre. There is ample landscaped carparking adjacent to the pontoons.

Set in rural, landscaped surroundings with a woodland backdrop, the site is already home to a range of unique vessels ranging from historic lightships and ex-naval craft to coasters and tugs offering more accommodation than the average detached house.
