Royal Harbour Marina (Outer)
Visiting by boat
Royal Harbour Marina sits in a historic harbour built around 1845, just 25 miles from the French coast — close enough that a cross-Channel run is genuinely on the table. You'll find monthly berths for boats up to 8 metres at reasonable rates, plus a modern amenity block with free showers, toilets, and a coin-op launderette. There's a real working-harbour feel here, with Ramsgate's town centre right on your doorstep for food, pubs, and exploring Thanet's coastline.
