Setting & Character
The marina occupies Weevil Creek beside the former victualling yard. Aquavista describes coastal moorings with harbour views and easy Solent access.
Arrival by Sea
Enter Portsmouth Harbour under current KHM directions. From the north end of the Small Boat Channel, pass Gosport Marina and the MOD fuelling jetty, then turn into Weevil Creek, keeping the fuelling jetty to port and Burrow Island to starboard.
Berthing
Contact Royal Clarence Marina on VHF Channel 80 or telephone 023 9252 3523 before entering for current berthing instructions.
Facilities Ashore
The marina office and facilities are opposite the pontoons, while Royal Clarence Yard has places to eat and Gosport town connections nearby. Confirm the current service list directly.
Nearby Cruising
Portsmouth Harbour, Gunwharf Quays and the eastern Solent are close, with Gosport and Haslar Marina downstream.
Information checked against official sources
The approach and contact details were checked against Aquavista and current KHM Portsmouth harbour guidance.
Approach and arrival
Use the Small Boat Channel where applicable, follow current KHM directions, then proceed via Weevil Creek under the marinas published arrival guidance.
Hazards and cautions
Commercial and naval traffic in Portsmouth Harbour.
Mud encroaches beyond the green piles east of the marina, especially at low water.
The main channel passes close to the end of A pontoon.
Practical notes
Check the operator, harbour authority, current Notices to Mariners, weather and tide information immediately before arrival.
Old Sea Dogs View
Royal Clarence Marina earns its place in a Portsmouth-area collection by offering a distinct kind of stop, not by pretending every berth serves the same passage plan.
Warnings
