Today is National Marina Day ⚓

It is a chance to recognise the people who keep marinas running smoothly and the communities built around them. From busy pontoons and marina teams to visiting boat owners and waterfront businesses, marinas play an important role in the marine industry and coastal life.

At Circle Marine, we are proud to support businesses and individuals across the sector with specialist marine insurance and risk advice tailored to the realities of life on and around the water.

Wishing everyone involved in the marina community a great National Marina Day.

For the past four years, we’ve supported Royal Lymington Yacht Club by sponsoring one of the racing buoys in the Solent.

Our buoy has just been brought ashore for routine maintenance before heading back out for the new sailing season.

We were pleased to receive an update from the Club advising that as part of the 200th anniversary celebrations for Cowes Week this year, all the Club’s buoys will be listed in the official programme alongside their sponsors’ names. This is a fantastic development and reflects the strong relationship the Club has built with the event.

Our buoy was rounded several times during Cowes Week in 2025 and has been used extensively throughout last season for both Club and Solent racing. Good to know it’s seen plenty of action!

We’re proud to continue supporting the Club and the wider sailing community, and we look forward to another strong season on the water.

The discussion between the four women to undertake their own rewilding challenge started in a pub over 3 years ago and here Lorraine was with Sheila in a pub discussing drogues to buckets (Being 'Real') 😊
