A MARINA near Edinburgh is expanding to increase its berth count and accommodate larger yachts as demand for boat ownership soar.
After receiving a six-figure loan from HSBC UK, South Queensferry’s Port Edgar Marina, formerly a naval base, will dredge a disused part of the marina and reinstate the old pier.
Demand for moorings has grown “considerably” since the start of the pandemic and increased capacity will allow it to offer an additional 50 mooring spaces – up from 320 – and accommodate yachts over 100 feet, up from the current maximum length of 50ft.
Located between the Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing, Port Edgar Marina sits less than 30 minutes outside of Edinburgh city centre. The marina, which is home to a sailing club and a wide range of water sports activities, has seen a growth in footfall over the past few years following continued investment in its surrounding buildings, as well as the opening of the 200-cover licensed restaurant Scott’s.
