Perfectly located and priced for cruising the Solent
Nestling on the Eastney Peninsula, in the quieter reaches of Langstone Harbour, Southsea Marina is perfectly located for exploring the delights of the Solent. A friendly marina, with a sailing club feel, ideal for sailing and motor cruisers alike, Southsea offers outstanding value, new luxury facilities and two onsite eateries. Add a customer service rating that’s among the best in the leisure industry and a 24-hour manned reception and you have your ideal berth.
Premier’s Southsea Marina is just 15 minutes from the heart of the Solent and offers berthing for 307 boats up to 17m (max 2.2 draft). The marina has a tidal gate that offers unrestricted access three hours either side of high water. When waiting for the gate access you may tie up to the outer pontoon until the tide turns, fuel your boat, or alternatively, ask the marina team to later repatriate your boat to your berth.
