For visiting boats
Sutton Harbour Marina lies in Plymouth's historic Barbican harbour, behind Sutton Lock, whose double gates hold the water at all states of the tide and shelter the berths from any weather. Walk-ashore pontoon berths are fully serviced with gated 24-hour access, CCTV, laundry and nearby fuel and pump-out, and the cobbled streets, restaurants and pubs of the Barbican and the city centre are on the doorstep.
