About Universal Marina

Everything boating you could wish to find in one place. It also provides the perfect entrance to a long but satisfying walk along the river bank down to the mouth of the Solent. Upon your return there is a delightful cafe waiting to offer you lovely coffee and cake. Tidiest Marina on the river. Great facilities and easy access. Friendly staff and delicious food at the cafe and bistro onsite. A short drive down the local access road reveals this hidden gem. Surrounded by trees, Universal feels a world away from the bustle of life, and yet the marina is within easy reach of the Solent and all its waters have to offer. Meanwhile, you’ll find a full-service boatyard, dry stack boat storage and a range of marina berths all with 24-hour access and private parking. Universal Marina berth holders can find fuel facilities on the fuel pontoon at our sister marina, Swanwick, just upriver. The self-service fuel pontoon at Swanwick sells marine diesel and unleaded petrol. There are CCTV cameras overseeing the pumps and a help point intercom in case of queries. The fuel pontoon is open every day between 08:00-18:00hrs in the summer and during daylight hours in the winter. For out-of-hours service, berth holders can contact the marina reception via the help point. Bottled gas is also available from the marina reception.
