With marinas in Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight, we're only a short sail away.

Right on the cruising crossroads for the Channel Islands and West Country, Portland Marina has the space for seasoned sailors, and the time for Jurassic Coast day boaters, anglers and divers. Book a lift and wash-off in our boatyard, or enjoy a steak and an ale in our restaurant.

The busy yachting town of Cowes is right in the heart of the action, with a perfect central Solent location for simply messing about in boats. Hang up your seaboots and explore the Isle of Wight's country pubs and historic houses. Be prepared to stay a while; there's plenty to enjoy.

Haslar Marina is conveniently located just inside historic Portsmouth Harbour, opposite the vibrant centre of Gunwharf Quays and Old Portsmouth. We're minutes from the open sea; turn to port for Chichester, starboard for the Solent, or straight ahead for vin rouge en France.

The river Hamble is the home of yachting, and Deacons has been part of the scene since the 1920s. Wander to the Jolly Sailor for a pint or take the dinghy to explore secret Hamble beyond the bridge.
