Watch the opening of the steel lock gates and enjoy the views of the River Humber at dusk near these historic docks.

Dating back to 1983, the Hull Marina is a pleasant and lively harbor filled with a variety of pleasure boats. A fascinating boat museum is located in the marina, whose 270 mooring berths are divided between the Railway Dock Marina and the Humber Dock Marina. Stroll along the perimeter for scenic views of the docks. Choose your favorites from the array of yachts.

Bring supplies for a picnic and relax on a grassy patch beside the water on a sunny day. Walk between the large trees, which provide plenty of shade. Visit the Spurn Lightship boat, which serves as an intriguing museum. Its exhibits deliver information about the ship’s 50-year career on the River Humber. Its interpretation panels shed light on the boat’s history and its navigational tools.

Cross any of several pedestrian bridges and reach the steel lock gates that open to the vast River Humber. Bring your kids to watch the opening of the gates, which allow large vessels to pass between water bodies of different heights.

Relax with snacks and refreshments at one of the cafés offering excellent views of the two parts of the marina. There are also pubs, bars and restaurants along the pedestrianized area of the marina. Stay for the sunset and marvel at the changing hues of the sky above the tall sailing masts of the boats.

Attend the Hull Jazz Festival in mid July and the Hull Folk and Maritime Festival, also in July. The latter has traditional dancing as well as floating stages with music and exhibits. Make your way across the charming waterfront area to the Fruit Market quarter, where historic warehouses now host quaint and trendy shops and bars.

Find the Hull Marina on the northern side of the Humber River in the center of the city. Ride a bus to one of the stops beside the marina or walk southeast from the city’s railway station for 15 minutes to get here. Visit other nearby sights, such as Holy Trinity Church, the Ferens Art Gallery and the Hull Maritime Museum.
