Long-Stay Moorings in Windsor
Windsor offers mooring in one of the most scenic stretches of the non-tidal Thames, with Windsor Castle as a backdrop and the Great Park on the doorstep. Long-stay moorings at marinas in Windsor and the surrounding area — including Bray, Maidenhead, and Datchet — are in consistently high demand, reflecting both the quality of the environment and the excellent access to London (Windsor is around 40 minutes from Waterloo). The stretch of the Thames through Windsor is among the most beautiful in England, with a Boulter's Lock to Runnymede reach that has attracted artists and writers for centuries. Boat owners based here have direct access to the full non-tidal Thames.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to moor long-term?
Yes. Long-stay 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-stay 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.
