Poole Quay Boat Haven sits on the Little Channel in Poole Harbour, reached by following the Middle Ship Channel north and then west to the south cardinal Stakes buoy (No.

29), then heading along the Little Channel toward Town Quay, where the marina entrance is visible to starboard.

The marina accommodates vessels up to 60 metres in length across around 180 berths, roughly one third let annually and the remainder available for short-term or visitor use.

It also serves as a base for a commercial fishing and angling fleet of approximately 130 vessels, with dedicated landing facilities and separate car parking.

The port is noted as the largest exporting hub for live shellfish on the UK south coast, shipping to markets in France, Spain, and Portugal. Access to the pontoons is through key-code secured gates, with 24-hour security on site.

Drinking water is available on all pontoons, and a pump-out facility is located near the haven entrance.
