Inspiration Marine Group, one of the UK’s largest new and used boat dealerships, has reaffirmed its commitment to MDL’s Hamble Point Marina by signing a 10-year lease renewal for its 1,500 sq ft office in The Chandlery Building. Established in 2000, Inspiration Marine has called Hamble Point its headquarters for nearly 25 years, benefitting from the marina’s prime location at the gateway to the Solent and its exceptional facilities.
The lease renewal coincides with MDL’s £13.6 million investment programme for the ongoing 2024/25 season, which aims to enhance facilities and services for berth holders, tenants and visitors. As part of this initiative, Inspiration Marine’s offices will undergo a complete refurbishment, with the team temporarily relocating to nearby Firefly Road for the duration of the four-month project.
“We’re delighted to continue our longstanding relationship with MDL and Hamble Point Marina,” says Phil Dollin, Director at Inspiration Marine Group. “The Solent is the hub of UK boating, and Hamble Point offers the perfect setting for our operations, with easy access for test sails and other activities.
“The refurbishment reflects our commitment to providing an exceptional environment for our staff and clients, and we look forward to returning to our updated offices in the spring.”
Inspiration Marine employs 18 staff across its Hamble Point and Inverkip location in Scotland. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services for boat owners, including commissioning, servicing, repairs, refits and brokerage through Michael Schmidt & Partners. As the longest-standing Hanse dealership outside Germany, Inspiration Marine boasts unmatched expertise in Hanse, Moody, Dehler and Fjord models.
“Inspiration Marine has been an integral part of the Hamble Point Marina community for nearly 25 years,” says Tim Mayer, MDL Sales and Marketing Director. “Their reputation for professionalism and deep industry knowledge aligns perfectly with MDL’s commitment to excellence. We’re proud to support their growth with this refurbishment and lease renewal and look forward to seeing their continued success.”
MDL’s investment programme underlines its dedication to supporting tenants like Inspiration Marine, ensuring Hamble Point Marina remains a premier destination for the marine industry.
