Premier Trafalgar Wharf Shipyard
Premier Trafalgar Wharf is part of Premier Marinas, an operator of marinas and full-service boatyards along the UK's South Coast, from Cornwall and Devon to the Solent, River Hamble, Chichester Harbour and Sussex. The group provides annual, summer, winter and visitor berthing, dry stack boat storage, and boatyard services including lifting, launching, high-pressure hull cleaning, block-off and storage ashore, supported by a wide range of onsite independent marine trades. The Trafalgar Wharf site is described in the available material only as an indoor dry stack storage facility, referred to as Europe's largest. The published pages give little site-specific detail on Trafalgar Wharf itself, so most information here relates to the wider Premier Marinas network.
