Hard standing with walk-ashore berths in the East of England

Ashore on a cradle or trailer in a boatyard. Berths you step off onto a pontoon, quay or bank: no tender, no rowing out to a buoy. Easier for loading, for a dog, and for getting aboard after dark.

Questions

Which hard standing with walk-ashore berths in the East of England have space now?

None of the 9 has told us in the last six weeks that it has space. We ask every site regularly; the list above updates as they reply.

On top of the mooring fee: of these, 4 need Broads Authority tolls and 1 need the navigation's own licence. Coastal marinas usually need none.
