Walk-ashore berths with boat repairs on site in Staffordshire
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 an engineer, workshop or boatyard on site, so jobs get done without moving the boat.
