Ocean Village Marina sits at the northernmost point of Southampton Water, roughly three-quarters of a mile above the mouth of the River Itchen at Dock Head, in the heart of Southampton.

Operated by MDL Marinas, it is marketed as the UK's first and only five-gold-anchor marina and is surrounded by shops, bars, restaurants, and a cinema.

Visiting vessels can contact the marina on VHF Channel 80 or by phone, with berth pricing varying by vessel length.

The marina is a noted waypoint on the River Itchen for both motorised craft and paddlers, appearing on canoe route maps as a landmark along the stretch between Woodmill and Southampton Water.

A Tesco Metro Express on site makes it one of the more convenient provisioning stops for sailors cruising the Solent.
