South Ferriby Marina sits at the entrance to the non-tidal New River Ancholme, where it meets the River Humber, roughly 28 miles from Spurn Point.

Established in 1966 and family-run, it accommodates around 100 permanent berths plus 20 visiting vessels, and offers moorings, boat storage ashore, boat sales, boatyard services, and chandlery.

Approximately three-quarters of the boats using the river are sea-going vessels, making the marina a practical gateway to the Humber and the North Sea.

Access is through South Ferriby Lock, a Scheduled Monument over 150 years old staffed by the Environment Agency. The lock can take boats up to 5. 5 metres beam and 20.

5 metres length, and passage is generally possible up to three hours either side of high water, with high water here running about 20 minutes later than at Hull.
