Maryport is situated on the beautiful Lake District Coast, in the county of Cumbria. The dramatic Cumbrian coastline has the Solway Estuary lapping at its shores and provides excellent sailing and fishing grounds.
The Solway Firth is also an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with numerous Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and fish breeding grounds. Maryport has its own SSSI on the grass banks around the Marina, which lays host to rare plants and butterflies, (if visiting these areas please take care not to disturb or damage them).
Maryport Marina is owned and operated by Maryport Developments Limited, which is a private limited company. The shareholding of the Company belongs to the public sector and it is a ‘not for profit’ company. The Company also owns development land at the harbour, South Quay car park, Irish Street car park, Boat Repair Building and Maryport Harbour Business Park. The Harbour Business Park has three office buildings, which can provide leased accommodation for small to medium enterprises.
