Universal and Swanwick Marinas are both part of the Premier family at the top of the vibrant Hamble River. Enjoy tranquil riverside walks or simply relax and soak up the vibrant marinas' atmosphere.
Swanwick Marina – offers The Boat House Café on site and Harper’s Steakhouse & Bar just opposite. Universal Marina – offers a choice of the cosy Mermaid’s coffee shop or a full dining experience at the riverside Banana Wharf restaurant.
We haven't been to the Hamble for some time and thought we should check out the new addition the Premier Family, where Berth Holders can use their free nights. As spaces on the Hamble are limited the marina will allocate registered boats to suitable size spaces. It is a short walk, cycle or tender hop from Swanwick to Universal or vice versa.
