Notices to mariners

For stress free boating please make sure you have the right information before you set sail. 

Notice for Portishead Lock 

Please note that the lock will be temporarily closed for essential maintenance starting on Monday, October 30, 2023. We anticipate reopening the lock during the week commencing Monday, November 20, 2023.

During this maintenance period, there will be no access for vessels to enter or leave the marina via the lock.

This maintenance is a significant task that is only required once every 25 years. While we have allowed extra time for any unforeseen issues, there is always a possibility that the work may encounter some challenges. Rest assured, if this happens, I will notify you as soon as possible and provide regular updates on the progress.
