Youngboats Marine Services

Youngboats Marine Services sits at the head of Oare Creek, a drying tidal creek running off the Swale near Faversham in Kent.

The facility offers over 70 individual pontoon berths — almost all finger berths — for craft up to 30 feet LOA, along with a boat park and an on-site café. Visitor berths are available.

Oare Creek dries completely, so approach by sea must be timed around high water and is best suited to small, shallow-draught boats.

The entrance from the Swale is marked by the Faversham Spit cardinal buoy; from there, port and starboard hand markers guide vessels up the creek. By road, the yard is accessible from junction 6 of the M2 via Faversham, following signs for Industry West.
