“A double whammy here from Dean & Reddyhoff; this pair of state of the art marinas demanded their place on the shortlist with their excellent blend of traditional seaside town atmosphere for the cruisers in Weymouth combined with the state of the art facilities at neighbouring Portland. Both lie at the heart of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast; all in all, a recipe for success.”
