Premier Marinas adds Dart Marina Group to South Coast network

Premier Marinas has confirmed the acquisition of the Dart Marina Group, bringing together a collection of established Dartmouth-based businesses under its ownership. The deal includes Dart Marina, Dart Marina Hotel and the Dartmouth Higher Ferry, expanding Premier’s presence on the South Coast.

The Dart Marina Group is described as a well-established operation with strong customer relationships, high-quality facilities and an experienced team. Operations are expected to continue as usual, with an emphasis on maintaining the standards and character valued by customers.

For Premier customers, the addition strengthens its South Coast network, offering greater flexibility and cruising options across a wider portfolio of locations.

The acquisition also brings together two Dartmouth sites, alongside Premier’s existing Noss on Dart Marina, both linked historically to the Philip & Son shipyard, reflecting a shared maritime heritage on the River Dart.

Premier stated its immediate priority will be continuity for customers and stakeholders, while identifying opportunities over time to enhance the overall experience through investment and shared expertise.
