Residential berths
Leisure berths
We also provide leisure berthing licences, which allow the boat to be berthed at the marina 365 days a year. The licence only allows overnight use of the vessel for up to 90 days in any one year. Staying on the boat during the week and returning to a shore-based residence is residential use.
Mooring fees
Mooring fees are payable in advance and are calculated based on the vessel's overall length (LOA). The minimum chargeable length overall is 8 metres.

Waiting lists for licences
The marina operates separate waiting lists for:
- residential berthing licences
- leisure berthing licences
The waiting list is extremely long and licences do not often become available. Most boats are sold with their residential licence. The leisure waiting list is shorter, but it can still take some time to get a berth.
Each list is divided by boat length to match berth sizes available in the marina.
Berths are allocated by taking into account:
- the type of licence (residential or leisure) needed
- the commercial return
- the length and beam of the boat
To be added to the waiting list, you’ll need to register your interest.
We’ll contact you when a berth becomes available.
