A closer look at Aylesbury

Aylesbury sits at the end of the narrow Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal, a lock-heavy 6-mile branch dropping from Marsworth into the Vale of Aylesbury. The regenerated Aylesbury Canal Basin offers moorings within walking distance of the town centre and mainline trains to London Marylebone.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licence to moor long-term?

Yes. Long-term moorings on CRT-managed waterways require a current boat licence. River moorings under the Environment Agency require an EA boat registration. Most marinas handle this paperwork as part of the mooring agreement.

What's included in a typical mooring fee?

Most mooring fees include the berth space itself. Electricity, water, pump-out, and parking are often metered or charged separately. Always ask for a full breakdown before signing.

How long are long-term mooring contracts?

Most contracts run for 3, 6, or 12 months. Annual contracts are the most common. Monthly rolling agreements are available at some sites but usually at a premium. Notice periods are typically 1-3 months.
