Nottingham Castle Waterside & Marina sits on the Nottingham and Beeston Canal, tucked quietly away despite being roughly a mile's walk from Nottingham city centre.

Operated by Aquavista, it offers both leisure and visitor moorings, with residential moorings planned for 2026. The marina has a notably calm atmosphere, and wildlife regulars include a resident heron and cormorant.

From here, boaters have access to the wider waterways network.

Heading east onto the tidal River Trent leads toward Newark, while cruising west along the navigational cut of the Trent reaches Sawley — a scenic route of around 10 miles and 3 locks, typically taking 5–6 hours.

The marina is located on Castle Marina Road, NG7 1GW.
