Shamrock Quay
Shamrock Quay sits on the west bank of the River Itchen in the heart of Southampton, a marina with genuine nautical heritage — it takes its name from the legendary J-class yacht Shamrock V, which had her first refit here back in 1967. That history gives the place a character you don't find just anywhere, and being tucked inside the city means you're well-placed to explore Southampton's waterfront, shops, and dining without straying far from your berth.
