A closer look at Stockton-on-Tees

Stockton-on-Tees sits on the River Tees immediately above the Tees Barrage, which holds the river at a constant non-tidal level for permanently navigable, sheltered water. Moorings at Castlegate Quay and the Teesside marinas suit river and coastal craft, with the open sea reachable through the barrage lock.

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.
