Bristol Marina is the city’s only fully serviced marina, offering a comprehensive range of facilities for boat owners on the historic Floating Harbour. Operating since 1980 and positioned beside the SS Great Britain and Baltic Wharf, the marina provides convenient access both from the sea and via the inland waterways, including the Kennet & Avon route from London.
Its renowned non‑tidal slipway, wide concrete, 1-in-6 gradient, and up to 1.5m depth is considered one of the finest in the country, with launching fees covering harbour access, parking, and river licences up to Hanham Lock.
The adjoining fully equipped boatyard supports everything from routine maintenance to major refits and even new‑boat builds, making it a practical base for long‑term projects and professional marine work.
With 100 pontoon berths and 70 shore berths, all serviced with mains electricity and fresh water, Bristol Marina offers secure, attractive moorings for vessels up to 21m within the sheltered harbour environment. Its central location, strong facilities and easy navigation routes make it a dependable and well‑connected choice for boat owners across the region.
