Amble Marina
Amble, Northumberland · River Coquet
£4,250 a year for a 10m yacht
Walk-ashore berths with gated access or CCTV in England
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. Sites with locked pontoon or site gates, or CCTV, for peace of mind when you're away from the boat.
