In the shelter of Southampton Water, and right in the heart of the city itself, Ocean Village is much more than a marina. Surrounded by shops, restaurants, a cinema and bars, it offers outstanding recreational facilities.

The basin, formerly used for commercial ships, is deep enough to offer mooring facilities for tall ships and large yachts. 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.

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.
