A first-class location,
outstanding value and a passion
for exceptional service
Welcome to Premier’s Falmouth Marina. We hope that this guide will help you to get the
most out of the marina. Dedicated to providing first-class facilities, Premier Marinas’ portfolio
of leading marinas spans the South Coast. Falmouth Marina is just one of these prestigious
marinas, other locations include Eastbourne, Brighton, Chichester,
Southsea, Port Solent, Gosport and Swanwick.
Falmouth Harbour is one of the largest natural deep-water harbours in the
world and just outside Falmouth, in the sheltered waters of the Fal Estuary,
sits Falmouth Marina. Set in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty
the estuary offers up twelve miles of glorious boating water that stretches as
far as the cathedral city of Truro with numerous creeks, wooded shorelines,
quays and churches to explore along the way.
