Bristol Marina sits within Bristol's famous Floating Harbour on the River Avon, serving as a key access point for boaters navigating the city's historic dockside waterways.

The non-tidal harbour offers a substantial expanse of water held in place by a system of locks, providing sheltered conditions for visiting vessels.

The marina is notable for its slipway, described as one of the finest in the country — a wide concrete ramp with a 1-in-6 gradient, 15 metres across, and a maximum water depth of 1. 5 metres at the outer end.

Craft up to 6 metres in length and 1 metre draught may use it. A launching licence covers river and harbour fees upstream to Hanham Lock, roughly 8 miles away, as well as locking fees giving access to the tidal River Avon and Bristol Channel.

The marina is also the designated fuel supplier for diesel within Bristol Harbour.
