Shepley Bridge Marina sits on the Calder and Hebble Navigation where it intersects with the River Calder, near Mirfield in West Yorkshire. The site occupies a former maintenance yard for the navigation and is now run as a boatyard.

It lies adjacent to Shepley Bridge Lock, one of the locks that was lengthened during attempts to attract greater commercial traffic; boaters today use intermediate gates to work a standard-length lock.

The marina marks a notable transition point on the waterway, where the navigation provides safe passage around fast-flowing weirs on the River Calder. Eastbound boaters leaving the lock face a short stretch of open river ahead.

A sanitary station is present on site, though the busy boatyard operation can make access to it and the lock landing challenging.
