Aquavista is proud to be the UK’s largest marina operator with 29 locations across England, offering residential and leisure moorings, boat sales, floating homes, and marina services.

It believes that life is better by the water and its mission is to help its customers discover and enjoy the best of waterside life. Aquavista has over 100 employees working across these 29 waterside locations. The company’s crew choose to work at Aquavista because working by the water provides the opportunity to discover new things about themselves and a new way of life. Spending time near blue spaces like canals is scientifically proven to offer a host of physical and mental health benefits.

Employees are at the heart of Aquavista’s business, putting wellbeing at the forefront of the organisation, Aquavista has an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), which is accessible 24/7 and includes free counselling service.

Alongside this, it has also launched a sector-leading private health care partnership with Vitality Insurance, where every member of staff regardless of position within the company has the ability to access private healthcare treatment with additional benefits of a reduced gym membership, free access to headspace, and lots of other schemes to improve a colleague’s health and wellbeing.
