Brixham Marina maintains a Gold Anchor award status, indicating high standards of service and infrastructure.
The area surrounding the marina is a known site for spotting grey seals that frequent the inner harbor and breakwater.
The marina provides direct deep-water access, meaning boats can enter and exit 24 hours a day regardless of tidal state.
Brixham Marina is a sheltered facility located within the breakwater of Torbay, providing deep-water access for yachts and motorboats regardless of the tide. Operated by MDL Marinas, it features 485 berths equipped with electricity and water connections. The marina serves as a functional gateway to the English Riviera, positioned adjacent to a major active fishing port. Visitors have access to a fuel station, laundry facilities, and a boatyard with a slipway. The site is protected by a long stone breakwater that serves as a popular promenade. Its location at the southern end of Torbay provides natural shelter from prevailing westerly winds.
