Marine Surveying at Stretham Ferry Marina
Situated along the Old West River near the historic Stretham Engine, Stretham Ferry Marina provides a peaceful rural mooring basin near the junction where the Old West joins the River Cam at Pope's Corner. Craft berthed in this quiet fenland reach require regular in-water inspections, hull condition assessments, and safety audits to ensure long-term integrity and compliance.
SafeGuard Marine Survey provides fully independent small craft surveying services directly on-site at Stretham Ferry Marina. Whether you require an afloat pre-purchase survey, structural condition auditing, or an insurance evaluation for a GRP river cruiser, our assessments give you objective, clear findings with zero commercial links to local brokers or yards.
On-Site Facilities & Operational Features
Moorings & Waterway Access: Secure off-river basin and linear river moorings accommodating narrowboats, widebeams, and GRP cruisers. Positioned ideally for cruising towards Ely, Cambridge, or west towards Earith.
Utilities & On-Site Amenities: Mains shore power hookups, fresh water points, customer parking, and basic mooring amenities in a secluded rural setting.
Haul-Out & Yard Logistics: Stretham Ferry operates primarily as a residential and leisure mooring facility. For comprehensive out-of-water structural assessments requiring heavy lifting, pressure washing, or steel repairs, craft are typically navigated a short distance to regional yards with full haul-out infrastructure (such as Fish & Duck Marina at Pope's Corner or Cathedral Marina in Ely).
