Haslar Marina, Gosport: A Modern Haven for Nautical Adventures
Nestled in the sheltered natural harbour of Haslar Lake on the western side of Portsmouth Harbour, Haslar Marina is a premier 600-berth facility offering an idyllic base for exploring the stunning Solent. Opened in the mid-2000s as part of a significant redevelopment of the former Royal Navy base, this modern marina seamlessly blends history with contemporary convenience.
Haslar Marina enjoys an excellent reputation for its deep water (approximately 6m) and robust protection courtesy of a northern wave screen and the iconic permanently berthed lightship, *Mary Mouse II*. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a first-time renter, Haslar Marina provides a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional facilities.
