Peter Leonard Marine was founded in 1970 by Peter Leonard, who now enjoys over 35 years of marine experience and a vast knowledge of most marine systems.

Originally, the company was situated in Newhaven Marina but in 1987 moved to larger premises further up the River Ouse. In 1990 Peter bought out a local engineering company called Irving engineering to expand his business and in the same year his son Peter (junior) started work with the company, supporting the experienced service team.

In 1992 Peter Leonard negotiated the acquisition of some river frontage to develop his own Marina, and the company moved to its current location on Denton Island, Newhaven.

Peter, his son and his wife Maureen have worked hard to develop a pleasant, picturesque boat yard, which is now capable of accommodating 150 boats on land and water.

At the end of 2002, Peter Leonard acquired 'the old dairy' situated behind the existing boat yard. This has allowed a large expansion in both the workshop facilities and the chandlery side of the business and a larger office.

Mid 2003, Peter Leonard added a new slipway to the business, which will complement the new boat park service opening soon.

We are full members of the British Marine federation and are very proud to have been accepted into the Yacht Harbour Association.This is a very prestigous association, and, as a result, we will be upgrading our mooring facilities throughout the coming year.

I would like to thank everyone who came to our boat jumble on 1st April. We raised over £600 for the Newhaven Youth Marching Band.

We only had 1 couple who refused to pay the entance fee and said they didnt like music and did not want to support a well deserving local charity.Shame on them!!





What people say about us...
"The service i recieved from your company was absolutely first class. You carried out a full mechanical and electrical service, antifouled the hull and leg, organised sign writing and applied your 3M gelcare procedure. You then delivered the boat back on Friday ready for me to use on Saturday. After a great weekend I can confirm that the engine is sweet! Also the gelcoat procedure on the hull has been something of a facelift - its taken 3 years off my boat! Nice touches like organising an on board cleaning kit and painting the engine with oil to help protect from corrosion were added benefits." Ed Harding,Rinker 192.
