The Hamble has been a boat building centre for centuries and two very famous wrecks can be found here, the “Grace Dieu” King Henry V’s Navy Vessel and more recently found is the “Holigost” both lying on the upper reaches of the Hamble.
The Hamble is nature lovers dream location and an internationally important nature conservation site, popular with Bird Watchers, due to the variety of different species that can be seen here all year round.

There is a speed limit of 6 knots just prior to the Hamble Point South Cardinal, marking the entrance to the river and tidal stream can at times run in excess of 3 knots on the Spring ebb, which can cause large waves, wind against tide.
