Questions
Which hard standing for boats over 12m in England have space now?
None of the 6 has told us in the last six weeks that it has space. We ask every site regularly; the list above updates as they reply.
Where can I keep a boat over 12m (39ft) in England?
All 6 say they take a boat that long. Stated maximums: Gillingham Marina (23m (75ft)), Harleyford Marina (13m (43ft)), Low Wood Bay Marina (12.2m (40ft)), Tidemill Yacht Harbour (12m (39ft)), Northampton Boat Club (12.2m (40ft)) and Sutton Wharf Boatyard (45.7m (150ft)). Check beam and draught too.

On top of the mooring fee: of these, 2 need Environment Agency registration (Thames, Medway, Anglian waterways) and 1 need lake registration where the lake authority requires it. Coastal marinas usually need none.
