The Muscle Holding the Ship Steady — £40 per month

Sitting right alongside our Native Anchors, the Rock Anchor Crew represents the core strength of our deck. In seafaring history, this is the vital crew that handles the heavy cables and manages the rigging to keep the ship from drifting off course.

This tier is strictly for the rock-solid, established local businesses that want high-impact visibility across EatShopPlayMersea and a front-row seat during our busiest visitor seasons. You are the core muscle that keeps our community guides strong and growing.

Your exclusive perks on deck include everything in the Pearl tier, plus:

• Prime Navigation Placement: Your custom banner placed right inside your relevant Eat, Shop, Play, or Stay dropdown menu. (Strictly limited to one business per menu!).

• Priority Pinned Placement: Your listing is pinned directly underneath the Native Anchor slot in your main guide. If a guide doesn't have a Native Anchor, you are bumped right to the very top. (Limited to two businesses per guide, rotating evenly on every click for perfectly fair exposure).

• Peak Season Boost: Maximum shouting-out and visibility during our absolute busiest island stretches (like Summer holidays, sunny weekends, and Bank Holidays).

• Social Media Spotlight: Regular, organic features and inclusions across the EatShopPlayMersea Facebook page whenever it matches our content.

• A Heavyweight Presence: A significantly larger, punchier footprint across the entire guide compared to our standard listings.
