Hartford Marina

Set within the peace and tranquillity of the Huntingdonshire countryside, Hartford Marina offers a rural retreat from the busy life that surrounds it. Close to the market towns of Huntingdon and St Ives, plus with direct access to London, Cambridge and Peterborough, it is the perfect place to forget the stresses and strains of daily life.

With over 200 fixed and floating moorings available for river and canal boats of all sizes, Hartford focuses on making berthing simple and comfortable. Recent investment in the marina facilities means you can sit back and enjoy the pleasures of the waterside lifestyle, safe in the knowledge that you’re getting the best possible service.

Get a bite to eat at the Hartford Mill pub and carvery, just a short walk from the Marina Office, or enjoy a quiz night or some yoga at the onsite social club. With a full calendar of events taking place throughout the year you’ll never be short of something to do.

So, whether you are looking for a few hours away from it all, a weekend afloat, or a home from which to commute to work during the working week, Hartford Marina has the answer.

As your gateway to the River Great Ouse, it is the ideal point from which to explore one of Britain’s lesser discovered waterways. With tributaries to the river Cam, Lark, Little Ouse and Wissey you’ll have 140 miles of navigable canals and rivers through peaceful countryside and attractive rural villages and towns to uncover. What are you waiting for?

If you would like to know more about our facilities and services, then please visit or contact us – we are open seven days a week – to see how we can offer you a complete boating experience.

Facilities

There is a range of over 200 fixed and floating moorings to suit most types of craft found on the inland waterways, including river cruisers, day boats, and narrow and wide beam steel boats. Most of the moorings have access to mains electricity and water, and are located within a secure area beyond an electrically operated gate. There are a select number of moorings positioned on the opposite side of the marina and on the riverside, where there is no direct access to services, but the peace and tranquillity more than compensates for this!
