Need advice on South/South-West UK annual moorings

• Thread starter wolfzimmer
• Start date 17 May 2013
• 17 May 2013

Hi everyone I need some advice on annual moorings. After many years I have come back to sailing relatively recently and with a lot of enthusiasm. I am looking into buying a boat within the next six to 18 months (sail cruiser, old of course, 29-35 ft, fin or long keel). I cannot really look at boats until I have resolved the question of where to keep her. There is no way that I can afford the steep marina fees and it seems that I might not live long enough to move to the top of the waiting list for council run moorings. I have trailed through the Internet and the guides and also this forum, where I found some useful information but most threads were not that recent. My head is spinning, I am going round in circles and at the moment I cannot see how I can make my boat dream happen. Walk-ashore pontoon would be nice but probably totally unrealistic, perhaps midstream pontoon or I might have to settle for a swinging mooring. I accept that I might have tidal constraints but I probably need deep water mooring. The areas that would be suitable for me are - the Bristol Channel (anywhere between Bristol and River Parrett, and between Bristol and Cardiff, perhaps as far as Barry). - the South Coast (anywhere between Exmouth and Selsey) Any help, hints, information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wolf

Hi,check out Barry Yacht Club web site, we have berths which dry to soft mud,work shop,boat hoist ,winter compound storage.super club house and a very active social side. Come down and meet us.  

If you don't mind the mud Portishead Cruising club are another option: http://www.portisheadcruisingclub.org.uk/ * Drying mooring cheap as chips * Friendly bunch * Regular cruises in company * Good deals on winter lift out at Portishead

Welcome to the forum That is a huge area and there are low cost moorings available just about everywhere. You need to home in on a more restricted area and do some research on the ground. Chichester Harbour, Portsmouth Harbour, some parts of Southampton Water and Poole all have either swinging moorings or pontoons and provide the best access to good day sailing and cruising. Commercial boatyards, harbour authorities and clubs are the usual bodies to speak to. Long term sensible to join a club, and that might be a good way to start.  

It appears that bilge keel will enable you to keep your costs down. When I was looking I could have had a half tide swinging mooring on the Hamble for £600 a year. Instead ended up with fin and marina costs- didn't take my own advice!  

There are a couple of moorings for a 25ft and a 32 ft available now on the Hamble; pricing I do not know but a call to 02380 453542 Clive Fish, may be worth a call. No connection. ianat182

You're right, it's a good idea to plan where to moor before selecting the boat which best suits the area. There are advantages to a swinging mooring or trot, although access requires a dinghy it does offer improved privacy and generally more peace and quiet. Disadvantages generally involve carting gear to and from the boat and worrying how she's doing in bad weather. I used to sail from the Southampton Sailing Club moorings near the docks in Southampton - officially half-tide, but some of the deeper moorings accomodate fin keelers which dig their own downstream pool to sit in at low tide. Unfortunately, when I fell for my own boat it didn't occur to me that the encapsulated fin keel wouldn't like being abraded in the sand and mud, so I had to move. A bolt-on, iron keel would be fine, though the atifouling does get abraded off it. Rob.  

I think you are looking at too many options for the best advise. Firstly decide Bristol Channel or South coast. If South Coast then decide east or west of Weymouth. This will narrow your options and give us a better chance of giving the relevant advise.

Have a look at the Rhymney river club, very friendly and affordable - especially if you bring your own gaffer tape, blue string and bodginess. Mainly small power boats but a few yachts too.  

longjohnsilver

I've got several moorings in the Exe, for your size of boat you'll find one to rent for about £500 for the season.  

A bit outside your quoted S. Coast range but I can recommend Torpoint Yacht Harbour moorings on the Cornish side of the River Tamar (adjacent to chain ferry). Cost for a 30 footer last year was £995 including use of regular water taxi from the Yacht Harbour (0900 until 2100). Run by Huggins Brothers who also run Carbiele Wharf yard nearby which is also good value for haul outs.  

• 21 May 2013

Thanks, 1937rogerdon, I'll check it out. Not sure mud will work for me, though.  

Thank you all for your replies. Plenty to think about. I will take the one bit of advice first to narrow down my search area. Will probably then post again because it seems that there are many more options than I am able to find through an Internet search. Thanks again Wolf  

Contact Powerham Castle http://www.powderham.co.uk/extras/moorings.ashx if you are looking to buy. Other moorning providers on the Exe are available - as they say in the adverts.  

Check out Marchwood Yacht Club - Friendly, reasonable fees and sheltered deep water swinging moorings. Mooring waiting list dependent on boat size, some trot moorings currently available for boats around 25', temporary moorings for anything much bigger until a permanent one is available. We're in Southampton, on the river Test, opposite the container port, and welcome new members with practical skills who are prepared to 'muck in' and help the club to flourish. If you're afraid of getting your hands dirty from time to time, we're not the club for you! http://www.marchwoodyc.org.uk/mycpublic/  

Wicormarine in Portsmouth: mid river pontoons, some swinging moorings, plenty of half tide moorings, if you are coming from "out of area", only minutes from the M27 junction. cheaper than a marina, more than a DIY club but you don`t have to DIY! Worth a look if you want the solent area and pretty sure there is space.

Hi Rolf, I am a big fan of Chichester Harbour. It is a great cruising ground with beautiful anchorages and places to visit even if you dont leave the harbour. It is tidally constrained as it has a sand bar at the entrance. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and we have moored there very happily for years now. We enjoy being about to sail over to Bembridge (only a short trip) or down in to the Solent where there are a great many places to visit within a weekends sailing for the average boat. Cross channel is possibly too. Only 12 hours to Cherbourg or St Vaast and a bit longer to either the Channel Islands or Honfleur for example. Marina's are expensive, swinging moorings are less. Try also Portsmouth (Wicor Marine or Gosport Boatyard) or if you want a pontoon but tidal look at Portsmouth Marine Engineering in Fareham as we moored a boat there for a few years and it was ok. I have a swininging mooring in Chichester which I rent out at £1200 per year. Deep water, good for up to 11m LOA and 1.7m draft is always afloat. Currently empty but probably let in the next week or so. Bear me in mind when you have your new boat. All the best

Hi, I am looking at buying my first boat but before committing I would like to find a suitable mooring. I have read the above posts and I am wondering does anyone have any suitable options anywhere from Bristol down the channel. Possibly Down to Exeter. I am looking at boats approx 25ft. Any help and advice would be good. Also I have been told by various people about the additional costs to boating. Does anyone have any suitable information or advice that they would be so kind to share around this area. Looking at insurance, license etc and also the best place to explore these. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Allyn

How Much Does it Cost to Dock a Boat for a Year?

Before buying your first boat you probably want to know how much it will cost you each year. So did I, so I checked hundreds of slips, and here are the numbers I came up with.

How much does it cost to dock a boat for a year? An average sailboat costs between $800 - $1,800 per year. The price depends on location, season, and length of the boat. On average, a dock slip in the US costs anywhere between $12/ft per year to $240/ft per year, with an average of roughly $50/ft per year.

Renting a spot at a marina is called 'renting a slip' or 'renting a berth'. But there are other types of berths available as well, which can save you a lot of money.

On this page:

Slip cost for different locations (usa), slip costs in other locations, things to consider when picking a mooring, types of berths, related questions.

In this article, I'm talking about the cost of annual/seasonal slips. Marinas give you a discount on year-round slips. So these prices are only applicable if you get yourself a permanent spot.

All prices are based on boats with a length between 24' - 72' (7.5 - 22 m) since that is what most people have.

The average slip cost in different U.S. locations:

• Regular docking slips in the US range from $12 - $50/ft per year.
• Prime locations in the US cost between $120/ft per year to $240/ft per year.
• One of the most expensive marinas is Marina del Rey, which can cost from $192 - $384/ft per year.
• Canada is cheaper, with a prime Toronto dock location running at $102/ft per year.
• Transient moorings in the US seem to average at about $20 - $45 per night, regardless of length.
• Annual mooring rates seem to average at about $80 - $250 per year, regardless of length.

Regular docking slips are simple berths in small marinas. Their location is remote, in small towns along the entire coastline. Most of these marinas don't have premium services and don't provide access to popular sailing waters.

Prime locations are larger cities and bays, like San Fransisco Bay, Los Angeles, Florida, or San Diego. These marinas offer lots of premium services and provide access to the most popular coastal sailing waters.

Some popular marinas have long waiting lists, and they want you to give a waiting list deposit. Marina del Rey charges about $150.

Also, add another $25-50 deposit for your security key and car parking card.

Catamarans are up to 20% more expensive to dock (because they take up more space).

Renting a mooring in low season can be up to 70% cheaper. Not all marinas have high and low seasons, but many in the Meds do, for example. But they're cheap for a reason: sailing just isn't as great that time of year there.

So the cost depends on the type of spot you plan to rent. In some situations it makes sense to rent a simple anchorage, and buy a small boat to get there, saving you money on marina fees. As you can see below, a cheap anchorage saves you a lot of money, and if you're in a more expensive location, you could easily earn back the cost of a new dinghy within 1-2 years.

How much does it cost to own a sailboat? Read our complete sailboat ownership cost guide for a complete overview of all the ownership costs and the purchase cost of a new & used sailboat.

• Slip costs in the Mediterranean are on average higher since it is a very popular and crowded area.
• Slip costs in the UK are on average slightly higher.
• Greece annual fees are between $75 - $175/ft per year
• Croatia annual fees are between $160 - $350/ft per year
• Italy annual fees are between $100 - $440/ft per year, averaging at $4,500 for a 32' yacht.
• France annual fees are between $50 - $450/ft per year, averaging at $4,500 for a 32' yacht.

The Mediterranean can be a lot more expensive because of how popular it is. Especially the French and Italian Rivieras and Croatia are expensive areas.

The more you go east, the cheaper it gets (apart from Croatia, which is getting high on its own supply I guess).

However, some countries, like Greece for example, have a lot of anchorages and cheap or free moorings. Not a lot of marinas there. So if you plan on going there on holiday, you should be okay.

The world's most expensive marinas are in Monaco: a slip there costs you anywhere between $9,000 - $43,500 per month. Wait, it gets even crazier: during the Grand Prix, rates increase to $17,750 - $100,000 per month!

• Travel time: how long are you willing to travel each time you want to take her out? Location makes all the difference in price.
• Docking or mooring? If you like peace and privacy, perhaps an anchorage or water mooring is the best way to go.
• Accessibility: is the mooring always accessible or just at certain times of the tide? The latter can reduce your costs a lot.
• Some marinas are owned by yacht clubs and require you to become a member. That can become quite expensive quickly.

There are different types of berths available. If you don't know the difference between mooring and docking it can get quite confusing quickly.

Mooring is a permanent anchor spot on the water. Your boat is attached to a single point on the seafloor, using an anchor (or anchors) that are fixed to the seafloor or a buoy. So you leave the anchors behind when you leave. You have no direct connection to the land, so you have to use a dinghy or other small boat to get to your sailboat.

An anchorage is simply a designated place for boats to anchor, using their own anchors and nothing more. Here you also don't have access to land.

Docking is tying up your boat to an allocated spot on the shore, allowing you access to land. With docking, you don't use any anchors, but instead, you use lines and fenders.

You dock at a marina , which has berths or slips. A berth is the designated spot for your boat. So it's sort of the parking space for your boat.

Permanent mooring is a slip reserved for you for the entire season. Transient mooring is rented on a per-day basis and is more expensive.

The difference between mooring and docking is the location of the anchorage; a mooring is offshore and docking is directly next to shore and gives you access to land.

What's the difference between mooring and anchoring? The difference between a mooring and an anchorage is the means of anchoring. A mooring uses anchors available at the location. An anchorage doesn't have any infrastructure; you need to use your own anchors.

Liveaboard slips

Liveaboard slips are more expensive - A LOT. Some marinas charge a flat fee on top of the rent (anywhere up from $350). Others just double or quadruple the rent of the slip.

For most marinas, the number of liveaboard slips is very small, and waiting lists may vary anywhere between 3-7 years.

What's it like to live on a sailboat? Interested in moving onto a sailboat, but unsure whether it's for you? William has written a great article on 5 Things to Consider Before Moving onto a Sailboat .

Advantages of Annual Slips

You can either reserve a slip for an entire season, or make use of transient slips , which just means you rent per day, week, or month, and not per year. This gives you the freedom to hop from marina to marina, which is great if you are on holiday, or living aboard, but it can get quite expensive.

Generally, it is about 3-4 times more expensive to use transient slips.

So, if you plan on sticking around a particular area, reserving a slip is your best option. If you want a prime location, you have to place your reservation in time. Permanent slips tend to be popular and you may end up on a multi-year waiting list.

Premium services

Some slips have winterization included in the price. This means the marina will haul out your boat at the end of the season, clean it, and store it (probably on a rack or trailer). You can also do this yourself and save a lot of money. Winterizing a boat can be done for a couple hundred bucks yourself. Expensive marinas can easily charge up to $2,000 for this service.

Other premium services are security, pilotage, docking assistance (allowing you to short-hand a larger yacht), shops and cafes, maintenance, gas station, and so on.

Buying a Slip

If you want to be done with it, you could also simply purchase a slip. Some marinas have a sublease system, so the marina doesn't own the slip, but another owner does. This means there are plenty of slips for sale. I can't really give you a number, because the price depends on so many variables, and also just the reason that the owner is getting rid of it.

But it can be interesting if you plan on having a boat a long time, and have some money at hand.

How much does it cost to maintain a small yacht? A good rule of thumb is 10% of the original sales price. Most small and mid-sized yachts will cost you about $2,000 - $4,000 to maintain, and an additional $1,000 - $2,000 to winterize. Cleaning can add another $500. This gives a total maintenance cost of roughly $5,000 per year.

How much does a small dinghy cost? A small dinghy costs about $4,500 new. Second-hand, they can be had for a couple of hundred dollars and up. A small inflatable boat can cost you anywhere from $200 - $3000. This is the cost without an engine.

Stephen Serio

Hi Shawn, Thank you for the comprehensive info. It is really useful to someone like myself trying to decide, whether, or not, to live on the water. Cheers mate, Steve.

Awesome website! It really comes handy to have where to go for information written for landlubbers with pirate dreams.

Currently, I am considering to buy a little sailboat in the Netherlands (where I live) and all sort of questions about expenses, maintenance, insurance, licenses… keep rising. For example:

Is marktplaats a place to find a boat?

Will I have to become a handywoman?

Is there a boat that is small (25-28ft), cheap and, that I can stand inside (177cm)?

So many questions, too many boats on this range (Friendship, Contest, Victoire, Wibo, etc…) and very little information in the forums…

I see that you focus the articles about running costs mainly for the American audience and I wonder if you also write articles for this nature for the Netherlands?

Do you have any Dutch focus articles (best marinas, cost of docking, winter care costs)?

Chris Krajewski

You forgot to add that the anchorages all over the World are for free, except USA and Canada

Great article! The key word here is “Variable”. The price always depends on location, safety and amenitites. i have a 45’ slip for sale near the Chesapeake Bay in a very desireable marina. It’s less than half the price of one in Florida. Thanks for all the notes.

Walter Edward Hertzenberg

I want to relocate to North Ft. Meyers. I want a boat to live-aboard and will keep it docked 95 percent of the time. Are their any marinas that are not premium marinas?

Dean Phillips

I just had a conversation last Friday with my uncle when he came over for dinner on boat parking spaces. He is going away for a bit and is looking for a space to park his boat in the time he’s away. I offered my help to look into it as well and that’s where I came across your very helpful post. My favorite part has to be where you explained that if you like peace and privacy, perhaps an anchorage or water mooring is the best way to go. You make a very good point here, which I’m sure those interested in this will be happy to keep in mind. I’ll be sure to share this with my uncle later, thank you!

What about dry docks in the NE of USA? It seems hard to find them, let alone how much they cost for a 50-60ft sailboat.

Lloyd Bronson

I am grateful you mentioned that mooring is a permanent spot on the water for a boat. My uncle is interested in hiring extraction services, but is unsure of what all of the terminology means. I’ll send your article to him to help him get familiarized. https://www.gpmarine.com.au/moorings/

Great article! Thanks for writing it.

Are shore powers and fresh water included in these fees, or are those additional charges?
