Marinas for boats over 12m with gated access or CCTV in the Midlands
Marinas and harbours that say they take boats over 12m (40ft): 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. Sites with locked pontoon or site gates, or CCTV, for peace of mind when you're away from the boat.
