Liverpool Marina is ideally placed for those wishing to cruise the Irish Sea: offering a huge choice of destinations for the cruising yachtsman from the beautiful coasts of North Wales, the Isle of Man, Ireland, Cumbria and Scotland. For the racing yachtsman the Liverpool Yacht Club racing series have become some of the best-attended events on the West Coast of England. With racing throughout the year, and fleets in excess of 30 boats you can be assured of keen competition whatever you sail.
Should you feel like a break from the water, Liverpool itself is a fascinating base with all the attractions that you would expect of a modern, cosmopolitan city. With museums, art galleries, the Beatles Story, a first class shopping centre and enough clubs, bars and restaurants to please even the most critical.
Access by road rail or air to the marina couldn't be easier with the motorway network from north, south and east terminating less than 5 miles from us; Liverpool Airport is 25 minutes by car or taxi and Lime Street railway station 5 minutes away. Even the Isle of Man Ferry docks only a stones throw away!

Hanover Hotel is handy place to stay, as it is slap bang in the centre of town.
Lots of Beatle posters in the bar for fans.

Seriously though i live near Burnley and was thinking about looking for a sailing school near me.
Any ideas ?

Posh Pads are exactly what they say, meaning very upmarket with amazingly low prices, and also bang in the middle of Liverpool.
Can not believe how low the prices are, check them out but dont go on about the price, they may eventually cotton on.
Enjoy.

Coming to Liverpool again next year on our narrow boat enjoyed it so much last year. Can anyone tell me when the festival of tall ships is on? It was so much fun last year. Also is there going to be a Flotilla of boats going to Ellesmere Port this year? We would love to go.

Hi
There are numerous Taxi Firms try Davie Lyver 0151 708 7080. There is also a direct Taxi Cab line from the Reception at Liverpool Marina Foyer.
Liverpool is also blessed with many Black Cabs that you can hail in the street. A cab to Lime St Station or city centre is under £5.00

Hi Jake we are currently compiling our guide to Liverpool and our man in the field there "Paul Smith" has been really impressed by the Marina and its facilities.He has also been singing the praises of the marine services.
On top of that you have got the fabulous city of Liverpool itself, so we thinks you could do far worse than get the Beneteau to Liverpool Marina. If you do, please comment again and give us some feedback.
Thanks

Love the site,but would like to know when Liverpool is going to be updated?
We were moored here for the week. Our initial impression was a lack of efficiency by the lock keeper. It feels a bit run down. The yacht club is good for a drink, but we did not get round to eating here. The toilets are good, but the showers, once you find them, are 2 of dubious cleanliness with a shared changing area. It all feels a bit run down and uncared for.
I recently used the services of Optimum Marine to carry out a survey of my vessel. Oli Byles carried out the survey and I found the service professional, informative and courteous. I would recommend this company. John Heale
Took my lower unit(suzuk dt 65) for a full rebuild and new impeller, this engine had stood for 15 years so sheared bolts were common , I have had the unit back for three months , new impeller , oil, etc , it's been on five trips and is faultless! ;-) also nice bloke to deal with. Many thank,
I liked its friendly staff and location. A bit of a problem with noise from outside clubs and bars but already warned by hotel so did not mind to much. No problem going back.
I had never been to Liverpool before. The hotel location was in very easy walking reach of the train stations and of all that I wanted to see - the cathedrals and the museums. The variety and number of independant eating places in Bold St was a lovely bonus.
The room was clean and had what was needed even though it was basic. The bar in the evening was enjoyable. This room was also used for breakfast but showed no signs of the night beforehand
Hi Steven
The Harbourguides crew take on board your comments but unfortunately we are not able to post your comment at this moment in time..If you could email us on steve@harbourguides.com I would like to discuss this with you.
