Questions
Which linear moorings with visitor berths in Oxfordshire have space now?
None of the 4 has told us in the last six weeks that it has space. We ask every site regularly; the list above updates as they reply.
Do I need a licence as well as a mooring?
On top of the mooring fee: of these, 2 need a Canal & River Trust boat licence and 2 need Environment Agency registration (Thames, Medway, Anglian waterways). Coastal marinas usually need none.
