Hartford Marina offers a welcoming riverside base in Cambridgeshire, combining boating, local attractions and a thriving waterside community – here’s how you can make the most of it this winter.
There is something special about life on the River Great Ouse. From peaceful countryside and abundant wildlife to historic towns, waterside pubs and the cultural attractions of Cambridge, it offers endless opportunities to explore at your own pace.
Situated at Wyton, near Huntingdon, Hartford Marina provides an ideal base from which to discover this beautiful part of Cambridgeshire. More than simply a place to moor, it combines practical facilities with a welcoming community, making it an appealing destination for boat owners throughout the year.
With 15% off* winter moorings, Hartford Marina offers an attractive opportunity to enjoy the colder months afloat, with its sheltered setting and floating pontoons designed to rise and fall with changing river levels, providing added reassurance and peace of mind throughout the winter.
With 235 secure fixed and floating moorings accommodating a variety of vessels, including narrowboats, cruisers and widebeams, the marina offers options for both longer-term and shorter stays. For boat owners preparing for winter, Hartford’s floating pontoons are a particularly valuable feature. Designed to rise and fall with changing river levels, they provide added reassurance when conditions on the Great Ouse become less predictable, helping berth holders maintain safer access to their boats. Combined with the marina’s sheltered setting, secure environment and on-site team, this makes Hartford an appealing choice for those looking to protect their boating investment and enjoy greater peace of mind throughout the colder months.
Facilities include electricity and water, fuel, pump-out services, laundry facilities, showers, toilets, Wi-Fi, parking and a slipway. The marina is also home to The Hartford Mill, offering a welcoming spot for food and refreshments, alongside other on-site businesses that contribute to its lively waterside atmosphere.
Beyond the marina, the Great Ouse opens up a wealth of possibilities. Boaters can cruise towards St Ives and the Hemingfords, explore further towards Ely and Bedford, or head towards Cambridge for shopping, sightseeing and dining. Historic mills, museums and tranquil stretches of countryside provide plenty of reasons to venture ashore.
Hartford Marina is also home to Tingdene Boat Sales, offering new and used boats and brokerage services for those considering their next boating adventure.
Whether you are an experienced boater or looking for a new way to enjoy the waterways, Hartford Marina offers the freedom to explore, with the reassurance of a well-equipped base to return to.
