Hythe Marina was the first marina village to be built in the UK and is still one of the finest. Located on the western shore of Southampton Water it's a unique development of a 209 berth marina, together with waterside homes, shops, restaurants and bars. There is a general store on site and a brokerage. There is also a regular ferry service which runs from Hythe right into the centre of Southampton.
The marina entrance is controlled by lock gates, operated 24 hours a day throughout the year, and there is easy access to Southampton Water and several of our other marinas situated in and around the Solent.
Cruising enthusiasts can explore the Beaulieu River to the west or continue on to the bustling town of Lymington, close to the New Forest.
Heading east takes you to Portsmouth, steeped in naval history, and there are numerous anchorages to explore within the sheltered waters of Chichester Harbour. It's easy to pop across to our other marina at Ocean Village, in the centre of Southampton, for dinner or to visit one of the two cinemas there.
