Marinas for boats over 12m with electric hook-up

Marinas and harbours that say they take boats over 12m (40ft): a stated maximum length, or a published price for a boat that size. Canal sites that only take narrowboats are left out; see 70ft narrowboat moorings for those. Berths with shore power, so you can run heating and charge batteries without the engine.
