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.
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.
