HAMBLE POINT MARINA

For sheer location alone, Hamble Point Marina is hard to beat. At the mouth of the River Hamble, with easy access to the world famous waters of the Solent, a magnet for competitive sailors from around the globe, it's a favourite with racers and cruising yachtsmen alike. Directly south of the Hamble is the Isle of Wight, with Cowes only a few miles away. There are plenty of spaces to explore around the island's coastline such as Yarmouth, Newtown Creek and Bembridge. Hamble Point is also ideally located for visiting our other marinas in and around the Solent area. To the east lie Chichester Harbour and historic Portsmouth, where visitors can gain a fascinating insight into our naval heritage.

Travel west and explore the quiet waters of Beaulieu River, Lymington and Poole Harbour or, further on, the spectacular sailing in the West Country. For those wishing to venture further afield, Cherbourg, the Channel Islands and the Brittany coastline are within easy cruising distance. The 230 berth marina itself offers extensive shore-side facilities. Besides a well-stocked chandlery, bar and restaurant, Hamble Point also has the best range of new and used boats for sale on the South Coast. Hamble Point Marina now also offers a brand new dry stack system with 116 berths for motorboats up to 10 metres.

Offering increased security and lower maintenance costs, the service includes unlimited launching on demand seven days a week. Besides offering first-class berthing and marina services, Hamble Point Marina is a Marine Service Centre offering excellent maintenance and repair facilities. There are over 70 tenants on site providing a wide range of marine services from boat repairs to electrical work. With storage ashore for over 850 boats, it has a dry sailing facility enabling boats to be launched for the weekend and put back in dry storage during the week - ideal for racers as it minimises water absorption and fouling, keeping boat weight down.
