HOW TO FIND US
By Road
Conyer is to the NNE of Teynham which is on the A2 some three miles to the East of Sittingbourne. Click on " Google Map " to view the exact location.
By Sea
There are two channels to the entrance to Conyer Creek, one running from the Port hand buoy south of the western end of Fowley island and the Butterfly channel which runs in from a point further to the west. The latter is marginally deeper but is very tortuous. Most people use the channel which is described below.
If you don't want to cross the mud flats then keep in the main Swale channel which is buoyed and go down to the Fowley Spit East Cardinal. A word of warning; the spit running to the east from Fowley island goes virtually all the way to the cardinal buoy. Be very wary about cutting the corner. Every year one sees at least one boat that tried to cut across the spit, stuck firm and waiting many hours for the tide to go out and come in again. From the Fowley Spit proceed as per the first bullet above.
Once you reach the end of the series of green can buoys you will see a North Cardinal. This is not an official buoy and is made of two traffic cones but it serves as a guide and is position at the northern edge of a very shallow mud bank. You leave it to your right and then proceed up the creek leaving port and starboard hand buoys or withies as appropriate. On the bends remember that the water tends to be deeper towards the outside.
Conyer Marina is at the head of the creek after you have passed the houses and the pub.
