A £4 million redevelopment of Windermere Marina Village has been completed.
The project has been led by Marina Projects and marks a significant enhancement to the lake’s largest full-service marina’s infrastructure and services.
The primary focus of the redevelopment was to replace all existing traditional fixed timber jetty structures with state-of-the-art floating pontoon equipment.
This shift addresses the issue of flooding, which has become increasingly severe due to global climate change.
By transitioning to floating pontoons, Windermere Marina Village is aiming to be proactive in mitigating the risk of future flood events that follow periods of sustained high rainfall.
Dan Fairweather, general manager at Marina Projects, said: “The new marina provides our customers with the modern berthing facility that they deserve.
“The improvements cannot be understated, removing the risk of flood events through the introduction of high-quality berthing facilities within the sheltered confines of our marina basin.
Windermere Marina Village is a luxury self-catering accommodation in Bowness on Windermere. It offers 337 berths, accommodating both annual berth holders and visitors.
The full-service marina includes a fuel berth, slipway, and boatyard facilities for servicing vessels, all complemented by amenities for customers and property owners.
It is hoped the new project will enhance the overall safety and functionality of the marina.
