PORT SOLENT

There is a range of wine bars, pubs and restaurants to choose from, for a full listing of Port Solent restaurants click here.
Behind the Boardwalk, there is a David Lloyd health and leisure club, the Odeon Port Solent cinema, a large Snow and Rock adventure sports shop and various chandlery and yacht suppliers servicing the marina.

LIVELY LADY

Alec Rose's sailing ship Lively Lady is based at Port Solent marina.

Alec singlehandedly circumnavigated the globe in Lively Lady, starting in May 1967 and returning to Portsmouth on 3rd July 1968 just before his 60th birthday.

He made only 2 stops on his voyage, at Williamstown near Melborne, Australia to visit one of his sons and an unplanned stop at Bluff Harbour, New Zealand, to repair a mast.

When he returned to Portsmouth hundreds of ships greeted him in the Solent, he recieved a knighthood and the Freedom of the City of Portsmouth.
