Chertsey Base

Barry Brant is the base manager for the Chertsey base. Welcoming you on behalf of Le Boat in Chertsey are Mike Gates and his team at MDL Penton Hook Marina.

Barry Brent

Penton Hook Marina is set in 80 acres and is Britain’s largest inland marina. It is situated on one of the loveliest stretches of the River Thames, close to Chertsey and about a mile downstream from Runnymede where King John signed the Magna Carta. The location is a perfect starting point for a boating holiday on the Thames; cruise upstream to Windsor and our base at Benson, near Oxford, passing through picturesque towns and villages en-route, or cruise downstream to the chic shopping centre of Kingston-upon-Thames, the world famous botanical gardens at Kew and Hampton Court Palace, former royal residence of King Henry VIII.

MDL Penton Hook Marina offers toilets, showers, laundry facilities, WiFi access and secure parking.

Pre-arrange your taxi transfer

Le Boat will be happy to arrange transfers from your arrival point to the base. Please download a taxi transfer form here and send it to the base at least 14 days prior to departure. The base receptionist will contact you directly to confirm details of your transfer.

Base Opening Hours

Opening hours: 9.00am - 5.00pm.

Local Facilities

Supermarkets, banks, post office services, restaurants and shops can all be found in nearby Chertsey.
