Sutton Harbour

Today, the serene waters of Sutton Harbour are bustling with a modern fleet of fishing vessels, yachts, and leisure crafts. It's not hard to picture the past when this harbor, once a tidal basin, was alive with the wooden ships, towering masts, and fluttering sails of Elizabethan and Georgian times. The "China House," still jutting out from the wharves on the right, was a significant hub of maritime trade. Imagine the hustle as fine China was directly loaded onto ships, ready to set sail.

Sutton Harbour Marina is perfectly nestled in a central, sheltered spot. With top-notch facilities and stellar customer service, it offers an experience that's both enjoyable and memorable—truly the premier place to berth in Devon. Plymouth, boasting one of the finest deep-water harbors in the country, is a sailor's dream destination. The Sutton Harbour lock gate operates around the clock, keeping a close eye on tide heights and weather conditions. This ensures safe mooring for both winter and summer stays in Plymouth.
