THE SHIPYARD OF EMSWORTH

Dolphin Quay has long been part of Emsworth’s boatbuilding legacy.

Once home to traditional shipwrights and the famous oyster boat Terror, it played a key role in supporting the town’s vibrant maritime trade. Boats were launched from this very creek, destined for fishing grounds and oyster beds across the Solent.

Today, Dolphin Quay preserves that working heritage while offering modern facilities for today’s sailors. The charm of the old boatyard lives on — in the timber slipways, the tide-worn stones, and the quiet hum of boats at rest.
