Liveaboard moorings with gated access or CCTV in the East of England
Moorings where the site says you can live on board, outright or by arrangement. Residential moorings often need planning consent and pay council tax; we show the terms as each site states them. Sites with locked pontoon or site gates, or CCTV, for peace of mind when you're away from the boat.
