Acting on the instructions of Victoria Rampart Limited, Craig Powell, the marine property expert at Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell has let Unit 11 Stone Pier Boat Yard to Ice Marine Ltd. The prominent riverside unit extends to approximately 8,277 sq ft.
Stone Pier Boat Yard occupies a prime position close to the entrance of the River Hamble in the village of Warsash. The River Hamble attracts both racing and cruising yachts and motorboats from around the world due to its close proximity to the Solent and the popular south coast harbours.
The premises were available on a new full repairing and insuring lease at a quoting rent of £36,000 per annum, exclusive.
Ice Marine Ltd was founded in 1995 soon after the founder and owner, Jeremy Watts, successfully won the 2 litre World Championships.
Jeremy Watts, Director, Ice Marine commented: “We are excited to be able to acquire additional facilities allowing us space to manufacture high speed commercial craft taking a project from concept through to realisation and on to production, providing our clients with a turnkey service.”
Craig Powell, Associate Director at Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell, who let and manages Unit 11 said: “It is exciting to see the ongoing regeneration of Stone Pier Boat Yard with a boat building company taking space formerly occupied by other well-known names in the marine world including Cougar Powerboats and yachts made by Westerly and Victoria.”
Other occupiers at Stone Pier Yard are Marine Matters who offer bareboat charter, marina berthing and RYA training. R.K. Marine, who offer boat lifting, launching, pressure washing, anti-fouling, storage ashore and marine engineering. GP Sails, who offer sail making and repairs and Sea Start, who run their marine breakdown service from this Boat Yard.
