Sawley Marina

Sawley Marina, known as Sawley Waterside and Marina, is the largest inland marina in the UK, situated on Sawley Cut — a navigational channel of the River Trent near Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire.

The marina covers 23 acres of water and can accommodate up to 400 boats, offering both residential and leisure moorings as well as visitor berths.

The site has its origins in 1962, when the Davison brothers purchased land beside Sawley Cut and developed a slipway and chandlery.

It has since grown into a well-equipped facility with diesel, pump-out, Elsan disposal, mains water to jetties, laundry, showers, and a large chandlery also open to non-marina customers.

From here, boaters can access the River Trent, River Soar, and the Trent & Mersey Canal, with Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester all within easy reach.
