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.
