Finding a berth on the Solent

The Solent has 59 marinas and harbours on BerthFinder, from Lymington and Yarmouth in the west to Chichester Harbour in the east. It's the busiest cruising ground in Britain, so the best-known marinas can have waiting lists for annual berths.

What a Solent berth costs

Marinas rarely publish prices. In August and September 2026, quotes sent to boaters through BerthFinder for boats of 6 to 10 metres ranged from about £400 to £1,000 a month, with a middle figure of about £650. Short monthly stays were usually dearer than the same boat on an annual contract.

Winter berths

If you only need a berth for the colder months, ask whether the marina has a winter contract. Some Solent marinas offer one for October to March, and it can cost less than a full year. Ask early, because the most sheltered berths fill first.

How to get a quote

Tell us your boat's length, beam and draught, where you'd like to be, and when. We send your request to the marinas that fit, and their answers come straight back to you. It's free for boaters.

Will your boat fit?

Whether a marina in the Solent can take your boat depends on its length, beam and draught, not just whether it has a space. 34 of the 59 listings here publish their maximum length; where it's missing, call ahead or send an enquiry and the marina will confirm. If you run one of these marinas, you can claim your listing and add your limits so boats that fit can find you.
