On the Water

Try something new at Deacons Marina

Upriver safari by dinghy – picnic or a pint?

Explore the peaceful upper reaches of the Hamble River, a great trip with friends, children and those who appreciate calm waters, nature, stunning views and on a warm day - a river dip! Enjoy a pint and a bite at the Horse & Jockey Pub, or picnic by the waterside, then rest your arms and shoot back down on the ebb tide.

The Bursledon Regatta

For anyone and everyone who loves to mess about by, in or on the water! A day of fun with themed water carnival, silly races and a torchlit parade and firework extravaganza. Don’t miss it!

Training with Mendez Marine

Whether you’re looking to brush up or learn new skills, or need some own boat tuition, Mendez Marine can provide both bespoke and RYA approved courses. Evening courses available and discounts for Deacons Berth Holders provided.

Enjoy a lunchtime cruise

The Hamble is stunning and a great place to kick back and relax, but it’s also a fabulous starting point for a cruise downriver and out into The Solent. Our sister marinas Haslar in Portsmouth Harbour and East Cowes on The Isle of Wight make for a great day sail, or evening stopover, with lots to see and do locally.
