Ocean Village Marina is nestled in the heart of Southampton and is the UK's first and only 5* marina. Surrounded by shops, bars, restaurants and a cinema, the waterfront is bustling and sophisticated, where eating out, enjoying a glass of wine, or going to the cinema is as much a part of the boating experience as the sailing is.

With its deep water basin, the marina is ideal for superyachts up to 80 metres and perfectly placed for short day trips or longer journeys. It has also become famous for hosting the start or finish of round-the-world yacht races. The marina is home to a £50m luxury spa hotel complex, the city's tallest building, and exciting new restaurant and retail openings.

Boatyard Facilities

While Ocean Village doesn’t have its own boatyard, there are convenient local boatyard facilities at Hythe Marina Village, Shamrock Quay, and Hamble Point Marina. Saxon Wharf has a 200-ton boat hoist, which is ideal for superyachts and larger craft.

Pump Out Facilities

The nearest pump out station is located at Hythe Marina Village. The Green Blue has developed an online map to show which marinas, boatyards and harbours provide environmental facilities such as pump out, black water/Elsan disposal, recycling, freshwater refill points, hazardous waste disposal and filtered/bunded boat washdown.
