Would you like your very own trip boat business?






We are in the process of purchasing a Mercia Marina trip/party boat shortly and are looking for interested parties to operate it.

It will be a bespoke boat carrying 22 passengers plus 2 crew with flexible seating making it suitable for sightseeing trips as well as parties.

The operator will be running their own business but we will help with the marketing, etc.

This rare opportunity is likely to appeal particularly to someone who has taken early retirement.

For more information, please contact Robert in the Marina Office on 01283 703332 or info@merciamarina.co.uk

New £1bn power station at Willington gets the go-ahead

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-12645908

Early morning power cut!

Early this moring there was a small power cut that the marina was alerted to.

On investigation this was unfortunately caused by one of our cygnets hitting the overhead powercables and tripping the power. The bird was buried this morning and would have died instantly on touching the overhead cables.

Maple lodge now finished - more lodges on there way


Maple lodge has now been fully landscaped and really looks superb thanks to hard work and our trees and planting 'guru'.

When the weather permits, the signature maple tree will be planted.

The next phase of lodges will begin mid March.

We are delighted that Jean & her husband are very happy with their luxury lodge :)
