Marine and waterway services
Carlisle City council do not provide specific information on
marine and waterway services.
One of the largest areas for marine activity is Whitehaven Marina (external
link) which is the maritime gateway to England's Lake District.
The 17th century, historical, substantially built Harbour,
offers a quality, fully serviced Marina with 285 fully serviced
berths and extensive quay wall berth areas for larger boats.
Access to the marina is available at almost all states of the
tide and the boatyard services include boat lifting, hard standing
and under cover boat storage.
Whitehaven is uniquely situated at the South Western entrance to
the Solway Firth and is ideally placed geographically to offer boat
owners a superb departure point for the Isle of Man, Ireland,
Southern Scotland, Clyde and Hebridean cruising or even a departure
point for transatlantic cruising.
