About The Navigator

The Navigator lies close to the River Hamble and its magnificent marina in Lower Swanwick, near Southampton.

Its restaurant and private dining room, the Chart Room, fully embrace the seafaring traditions of this lovely part of Hampshire. It’s this association that made the area around the River Hamble the ideal location for the filming of hit TV series Howards’ Way.

The Navigator offers a number of smart and comfortable bedrooms, for a relaxing overnight stay, and a number of wonderful places to enjoy delicious local food and drink.

Experience the best of local and seasonal Hampshire produce, including freshly caught fish and other seafood, in our restaurant or meet with friends in the bar for a drink from our carefully selected quality range of beers and wines.

The Chart Room offers the ideal venue for a wedding, family celebration or business event. Our experienced hospitality staff can advise you on all your requirements and are on hand to cater for your every need.
