From time to time, an opportunity presents itself that is too good to miss...its just about deciding to grab it. We are delighted to offer for sale Boatshed Chichester on the south coast; so let me explain further. The city itself is renowned for its cathedral, Festival Theatre and ancient history, coupled with some of the most beautiful countryside. Chichester Harbour designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and covers 74 square miles (AONB) and to the north is the newest National Park (South Downs) with the dramatic South Downs. All this is spiced up with a contemporary element with the racing at Goodwood and the infamous Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival hosted by the Earl of March. Lets not forget, the area is also now home to Rolls Royce Motors. History, refinement, culture and wealth...what better place to own a business.

I was reminded of this when I visited the area and the local marine businesses this week, on a glorious sunny day. The tranquility and beauty of the villages and harbour around places such as Bosham, Itchenor, Birdham, Emsworth are a huge draw for those seeking a place to live, many of whom will have an interaction with the water and boating. The harbour population is 8500, 10,000 boats and 55,000 birds! Who counted all those birds?! The marinas cater for a wide range of tastes, from the modern, contemporary and fully serviced Chichester Marina, to the charming old world locations like Birdham Pool and Dell Quay.

The waters are navigable and enclosed, leading ultimately to the English Channel and Solent at the mouth of the harbour between Hayling Island and The Witterings, popular beach and holiday destinations. We believe there are few locations on the south coast that offer this mix and therefore and that this is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious entrepreneurial boating type. There is a pipeline of business, so together with the world class Boatshed platform, this is an outstanding opportunity to be part of an International brand.
