Premier Marinas Gosport, Portsmouth Harbour Marina

Gosport Marina offers sailors 24-hour access to the world famous cruising grounds of the Solent.

And with major investment at the marina there are now first-class facilities to match its prime location 500m from the mouth of Portsmouth Harbour.

Friendly and experienced members of staff are still available 24 hours a day to provide you with the best possible service.

A raft of other investment has seen the marina re-dredged to a minimum of two metres and a breakwater redevelopment ensuring better protection for berth holders from the wash created by passing ships.

Shoppers' paradise Gunwharf Quays, with more than 80 designer outlets, bowling alley, cinema and 20 restaurants and bars to dine and drink overlooking busy Portsmouth Harbour, is easily accessible with regular ferry crossings from Gosport. The ferry is a two minute walk from the marina and only takes 10 minutes to get to Portsmouth.

There are many potential day and weekend sailing trips, with the Isle of Wight close by. Gosport Marina is also an excellent launch pad to cruise to the West Country and France.

The marina can accommodate boats up to 20m. Vessels are protected by CCTV, locked bridgeheads and security patrols.
