There are some really lovely touches such as the outdoor shower and dog wash for day visitors/contractors, the pop-up restaurant/bar and the parrot!” e yacht harbour received almost perfect scores for providing excellent customer service, highquality on-the-water and on-shore experience, plus environmental initiatives. Harbour Master Wendy Stowe said: “We are proud to have received such a fantastic result, which means we have now qualified to be assessed for the 5 Gold Anchor Platinum accreditation. This is a very high score and there are currently no platinum marinas in the UK.” She added: “It’s a fitting reward for the hard work my team puts into welcoming all of our berth and mooring holders, and delivering the best possible service so they enjoy their time sailing on the Beaulieu River.” A er completing a £2.5m investment to recon gure and extend the award-winning marina, Beaulieu Enterprises Ltd will soon announce details of plans for more upgrades on land.
