Ocean Quay Marina
Ocean Quay Marina sits at James' Wharf in the heart of Southampton, offering something you won't find at most marinas — a genuine dry dock and boatyard with serious boat and superyacht restoration capabilities on site. It has the feel of a working maritime hub rather than a polished resort, which makes it a great base if you have a vessel that needs more than a simple overnight stay. The facility is well-connected to Southampton city centre, putting you close to one of the UK's busiest ports and its rich seafaring history.
