Marinas for boats over 30m with a pump-out in England
Marinas and harbours that say they take boats over 30m (100ft): 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. Superyacht berths are few and often booked well ahead, so ask early. Sites with a pump-out for holding tanks, so you can empty without cruising to a service point.
