Caen Hill Marina acquired by Aquavista
Aquavista, the UK’s largest residential and leisure mooring provider, has announced the expansion of its marina portfolio with the acquisition of Caen Hill Marina in the South West of England.
Founded in 2003 and based in Nottingham, Aquavista operates 33 inland and coastal marinas, offering over 5,300 berths and marine services across the country. Both residential and leisure berths are available alongside boat sales, floating homes and other facilities. Sites include Buckden Waterside & Marina near St. Neots in Cambridgeshire, Diglis in Worcester, Lemonroyd in Leeds and now Caen Hill Marina.
Caen Hill Marina is located on the Kennet and Avon Canal at Devizes in Wiltshire and offers 250 berths. Services include fully-serviced jetties, pump-out and fuels on site, as well as laundry and washing facilities and boat sales.
Steve de Polo, Aquavista’s CEO, said about the acquisition:
“We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Caen Hill Marina, a marina in an excellent location near Devizes on the Kennet & Avon Canal. It complements our existing network of 32 marinas, with its nearest Aquavista neighbours being Bath and Portavon marinas.
“We pride ourselves on investing in our marinas and waterside teams, ensuring that our customers’ lives by the water are made easy and enjoyable. I look forward to working with the team and moorers at Caen Hill to further improve their marina experience as we welcome them into the Aquavista network.”
Aquavista was acquired by Antin Infrastructure Partners in late 2025 and is focused on giving customers more freedom through choice of marinas, mooring types, and opportunities to explore the network. Customers can take advantage of Explore 100, where customers on an annual contract can stay at any of the marinas for up to 100 nights at no extra cost.
Customers can also benefit from Marina Swap, where clients can swap their annual contract to another Aquavista marina, up to twice per year, subject to availability.
