Boats need attention all year round, not just over winter. Our Quick Turnaround Stays at Thornham Marina give you short-term hard standing whenever you need it, whether that’s a spring fit-out, a mid-season antifoul, or essential winter work, all in the heart of Chichester Harbour.
We offer convenient short-term hard standing options with flexible lift, wash, and re-launch services, ideal for antifouling, polishing, or emergency repairs.
Spring is the time to get ahead: hull cleaning, checking fittings, and essential servicing before the season kicks off.
Summer turnarounds are ideal for boat owners who need to keep moving: a quick antifoul between trips, polishing before a regatta, or sorting out a snag without losing weeks on the water.
Winter gives you a sheltered, peaceful site to tackle urgent maintenance or prepare your boat for lay-up.
Whatever the season, our facilities and friendly team make it easy to get your boat shipshape quickly and without fuss.

If your boat just needs a clean rather than a full turnaround, our hull scrub and pressure wash service, the Summer Scrub, is a fast, no-fuss way to keep your hull free of weed and growth through the season.
By trailer: bring your boat to us on its trailer any time, we’ll lift it onto hard standing, give the hull a thorough pressure wash, and you’re on your way the same day.
By water: arrivals by water are scheduled around spring tides – bring your boat in and collect it the following day.
Ideal for RIBs, motorboats and yachts looking to stay in top condition between trips out on the harbour.
Quick Turnaround Stays are available as 30-day or 60-day packages, giving you the time you need for essential maintenance without committing to a full winter storage package. If your project needs longer, take a look at our Winter Storage options instead.
Whether it’s a spring spruce-up or essential winter work, Thornham Marina makes quick boat maintenance easy, affordable, and convenient.
Get your quick turnaround space today so you’re boat is tip top throughout all seasons to keep you on the water. Why not pop in to the office, call us on 023 9270 6603 or drop us a message.
