By train
Portsmouth Harbour station from Waterloo.
Come out of the station entrance and turn left. Follow the signs down the ramp to the Gosport ferry (you’ll need to buy a return ticket from the machines at the top of the ramp. It costs a few pounds for a return ticket.
On the Gosport side, bear slight right across the public garden, and go past the Castle Tavern pub on your right.
Turn right into Gosport Marina. Its only about 100m from the ferry. Go straight on, between the block of flats on the left and the marina office on the right and the gate to the marina is ahead of you. Follow someone through the gate, ask at the office or call the skipper and he will walk up to let you in.
By road
From the M27 J11, follow the A27 (to Gosport and Fareham). Keep to the right and at the end of the road, turn left onto the A32 and under the viaduct. Straight over the next roundabout, then fork left (signposted to Gosport).
After about 7 miles, you’ll pass Aldi on your left. Take the 2nd left after that, which has two signs for Premier Gosport.
After 50m turn left again into the main marina car-park. If the barrier is down it means the car park is getting close to being full and you will need to buzz the marina office.
You can park in the marina car park for one hour for free. After that it is chargeable (c.£10) and you pay on exit at one of the two machines. Alternatively there are other car-parks nearby and some free on-street parking.
The marina gate is to the left of the Café. Follow someone through the gate or call the skipper and he will walk up to let you in.

From the marina office gate, walk down on to the pontoons and turn left. Take the next right on to pier D, just before the gate.
Walk to the end of pier D and over the little bridge to the breakwater. Turn left again and walk along the breakwater to the last boat on the left.
