Swale Marina

Swale Marina sits at the head of Conyer Creek, a tidal inlet running off the River Swale between Sittingbourne and Faversham in Kent.

The creek dries completely, so access for deeper-draught vessels is limited to roughly an hour and a half either side of high water. Two marked channels lead into Conyer Creek: the Butterfly Channel, marked by withies, and the Cut Channel.

The marina welcomes visiting boats as well as permanent berth holders, offering pontoon berths with shore power and water alongside a slipway for launching and recovery.

The surrounding countryside and mudflats are noted for wildlife, and seals are regularly spotted on the banks lining the channel out to the Swale.

Historically, the site served as a key industrial wharf during the Victorian era, handling barge traffic for local paper mills and brickfields.
