Matches in DBpedia 2015-10 for { ?s ?p "Island Harbour Marina, on the Isle of Wight, UK, is a commercial marina on the River Medina in the small hamlet of Binfield. It is located approximately half-way between Cowes and the County Town of Newport. Visiting yachtsmen will find it just past the Folly Inn on the East bank. Being a relatively small marina, it best suits pleasure craft of up to 20 metres in length. The marina accommodates both annual berthholders and short-term visiting craft. As the River Medina is tidal, the marina has lock gates to maintain a sufficient operational depth. It also means that access to the marina by boat is dependent on the state of the tide and the draught of the vessel concerned. A table showing the approximate access times is shown below. Visiting boats should hail the marina under callsign 'Island Harbour' while approaching on VHF Channel 80 (The officially recognised channel for all UK marinas). Island Harbour Marina was built in 1966 on the site of a demolished water mill, with the main part of the marina being formed by enlarging the original millponds. The marina's creators and original owners were brothers Alan and Colin Ridett. As well as arriving by boat, access to the marina can be gained by car, bus, river water taxi and by using its on-site helipad. A new riverbank cycle-way has recently been completed between Newport and Island Harbour Marina, with further plans for it to be extended to the Folly Inn in the future."@en }
