Ocean Quay Marina sits at James' Wharf on the sheltered western bank of the River Itchen, roughly two miles from Southampton city centre.

Deep-water channels connect it directly to Southampton Water, giving straightforward access to The Solent and the English Channel beyond.

The marina is privately owned and family run, offering around 100 berths ranging from 5 m to 30 m in length, with a minimum depth of 2. 5 m.

It caters to both leisure and commercial users and forms part of a larger facility that includes a 60 m covered dry dock and a 90 m wet dock.

Note that the site is primarily a repair and refit operation, so visiting sailors should confirm berth availability in advance.
