About Ocean Village

Ocean Village is now a modern marina right in the heart of the Southampton docks, and surrounded by hotels, restaurants, bars, cinemas and luxury flats.

Formerly used for commercial ships it is deep enough for tall ships and large modern race yachts. For many years it became the home of the start of the famous Whitbread Round the World Race (subsequently the Volvo Ocean Race), and then British Steel Global Challenge run by ocean rower, Sir Chay Blyth.

Ocean Village is a short distance from the Mayflower Park, where the annual Southampton Boat Show takes place.

Boat Share

You may want to share your boat with other members, which is a great way to meet new people and make new friends, but also you can split the cost
of the fuel and the mooring fees when there are pontoon charges. All you need to do is indicate on the booking app ‘happy to share’ and we’ll arrange
this for you.

Please state on the booking form you wish to join the Ocean Village Solent Discovery Guided Trip

If you are happy to boat share and split the fuel costs please indicate this on the booking form/app
