Situated on the tidal stretch of the River Yare in Norfolk, Reedham Marina acts as an essential navigation point within the southern Broads network. Operating along a active tidal river reach with strong currents and variable water salinities, craft berthed or laid up here require thorough structural checks and technical audits to ensure long-term hull integrity, mechanical reliability, and compliance with Broads Authority standards.
SafeGuard Marine Survey provides completely independent small craft surveying services directly on-site at Reedham Marina. Whether you require an out-of-water pre-purchase survey, Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) NDT hull gauging on a steel narrowboat or river cruiser, or an insurance condition report for a GRP motor yacht, our evaluations deliver clear, actionable guidance with zero commercial ties to hosting yards, brokerages, or local moorings.
Haul-Out & Hardstanding Infrastructure: Accommodates local lifting operations, slipway access, and hardstanding block-out for river cruisers, motor yachts, and commercial inland craft. Out-of-water surveys are strictly coordinated to ensure complete, uninterrupted access to the baseplate, forward and aft swims, keel assemblies, stern gear, and underwater appendages.
Surface Preparation & NDT Access: Facilities support high-pressure cleaning and the removal of marine fouling, brackish weed accumulation, silt, and loose bottom coatings along the wind-and-water line. This ensures optimal surface contact for ultrasonic transducer coupling and silver/silver-chloride reference electrode testing for stray current corrosion audits.
Moorings & Site Facilities: Offers secure basin and quay-side moorings equipped with essential shore-side amenities, water, and power hook-ups for short-term and long-term craft. Positioned strategically on the River Yare, the site provides straightforward navigation access toward Breydon Water, Great Yarmouth, Haddiscoe Cut, and the wider Norfolk Broads network.
