Queenborough Spit Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

Queenborough Spit sits at the strategic confluence of the Medway, Swale, and Thames estuaries, giving you a front-row seat to one of the busiest waterways in the UK. Drop the hook here and you're tucked just off the historic town of Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey, with that wide, open estuary feel and constant maritime traffic passing by. It's a solid spot to ride out a tide or wait for your weather window before heading up to London or across to the Continent.
