Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
The comprehensive redesign of MDL Marinas’ Ocean Village has been completed and now offers enhanced access into Southampton. The new design includes new pontoons linked to a £50m luxury spa hotel complex, and a floating dock office to welcome guests from around the world.
Adrien Burnand, MDL’s head of marketing, said: ‘We’re delighted with the transformation of Ocean Village Marina. Visitors are immediately encased in a world of luxury, whether they’re accessing the five-star facilities at Harbour Hotel straight from the pontoon or one of the many restaurants nestled alongside, or checking out new and classic releases at the on-site cinema.’
MDL have nine marinas on the Solent to explore as part of their Freedom Berthing Package, which allows members to stay in the MDL marina of their choice at no additional cost.
A further innovation for MDL members staying at Ocean Village Marina is the Platinum Package, which effectively turns boats into extended five-star hotel bedrooms.
