Welcome!
This special ‘Marina & Waterfront’ edition of the magazine is filled from cover to cover with the most fabulous properties in spectacular island, coastal, river or canal-side locations. I live right beside the sea myself and spend every possible moment sailing, yet I still feel drawn to take holidays either on or close to the water. Several of my summer breaks have been spent on board a yacht, first exploring Holland’s seemingly endless waterways before heading on to Germany and Denmark in following years. Memorable moments include cruising past Schiphol Airport and admiring stately Dutch windmills before mooring up alongside picturesque restaurants for dinner. Once into Denmark, via the famous Kiel Canal, it was fabulous to visit the beautiful city of Copenhagen before exploring the delights of the Danish fjords. Needless to say, this prompted me to include Holland and Denmark in our search for prime waterfront properties. Other destinations to come under scrutiny this issue are the USA, New Zealand, Australia, Dubai and London. While the extensive coastlines of the first three are natural choices for waterside living, don’t forget Dubai’s wonderful man-made islands, Greenwich with its maritime history and St Katharine’s Docks by Tower Bridge in the heart of London.
