Marinas for boats over 24m with gated access or CCTV in Hampshire

Marinas and harbours that say they take boats over 24m (80ft): 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. Large yacht berths are few and often booked well ahead, so ask early. Sites with locked pontoon or site gates, or CCTV, for peace of mind when you're away from the boat.
