Yelvertoft Marina

My father has been mowed at Marina for many years now, .. The atmosphere within the marina is wonderful. Everyone’s helpful to help each other out. Everybody likes to talk to each other… Now I’m new to myself. I’m getting lots of information and help from the local boats people .. If you’re looking for somewhere more, I’d highly recommend it a wonderful place ..

My wife and I have been mooring our boat at Yelvertoft Marina for almost nine years, and have been living on board here for several months of each year, between spells of cruising. It's a lovely place to be. Quiet, picturesque, well maintained and with excellent facilities. We haven't seen better. It's a very friendly community, too. Office staff are friendly and helpful. We're very happy here, and expect to stay until our boating days are over.

Not particularly impressed over priced marina you are better off travelling the 2 miles to Crick and saving 25% on your pumpout and 5% on your fuel. Also dont really want to provide a diy service said they were fully booked but had three free spaces on the slipway!

Been mooring my boat here for a number of years. Friendly community atmosphere. Shower and toilet block on site, laundry room and boaters lounge where you can chat, have a cuppa and do a jigsaw or read a book from the many available. Friendly manager and owners. Also made use of the slipway to black the boat.

We have been here for just over three years and find the Marina to be an idyllic situation and base to go cruising from. The staff are very friendly and helpful and always on hand to help with any problems or issues. The surroundings are beautiful, with all sorts of wildlife, including a large variety of wildfowl and birds. We always look forward to arriving back here from our various trips out and consider this marina to be one of the best on the system that we have stayed in. The peace & quiet is absolutely joyous.

Fabulous marina. We moved our boat there and were not disappointed. Has a lovely welcoming feel, staff & fellow moorers friendly & helpful. Never had any worries whilst we were unable to visit the boat due to restrictions as we knew staff were keeping an eye on her. We were sad to leave, did so due to a change in our circumstances, but looking forward to returning sometime on the future.

Very secluded quiet and a well kept site All roads clearly marked and added security by a coded gate to enter. All jettys and walkways are very clean and easy to follow. Lovely and picturesque on the grand Union canal, on the outskirts of Northamptonshire Will definitely want to visit the place again

We have just returned to Yelvertoft marina. Previously we were moored here for 2 years before leaving for winter moorings to be close to my poorly parents. And it’s great to be back! Neil, the manager, has made us feel very welcome and has been very accommodating of our erratic coming and goings. He lives on site and is always available to help out with any problems. Yelvertoft marina is a rural idyll. Wildlife abounds. As well as the usual swans, ducks, geese and moorhens, there are otters and water voles, huge fish, birds of prey and we regularly watch the resident barn owl hunt. Light pollution is minimal and I enjoy star gazing up the hill on clear nights. Set in farmland the marina is accessed via a newly Tarmaced drive bordered by grazing sheep and cows. Electricity is provided by a wind turbine and discreet reed beds service the facilities block. The environment is very natural and you don’t feel like you are living on a manicured golf course. A strict ‘dogs on leads’ policy applies to the marina basin, but a good sized field is provided for off lead fun & games. A coffee morning, games night, knit & natter and art & craft session are held in the social room where there is an extensive book swap and community jigsaw. There is a slipway and new paint shed but this accessed via a different entrance from the canal and is set apart from the moored boats. It is remote, quiet and very friendly here and I love it!
