22 of the 133 told us in the last six weeks they have space: Barry Yacht Club, Dysart Harbour, Emsworth Maintained Moorings, Haines Boatyard, Harlow (Blackwater) Sailing Club, Helford River Moorings, Itchenor Reach maintained moorings, Kilmelford Yacht Haven and 14 more. Each page shows the date they told us and what they have.
2 of the 133 say you can: Dart Harbour, Galmpton (residential moorings with planning consent) and Bembridge Harbour (liveaboard by arrangement). Living aboard can need planning consent and council tax; ask each site about its terms.
On top of the mooring fee: of these, 1 need a Canal & River Trust boat licence, 2 need Environment Agency registration (Thames, Medway, Anglian waterways), 2 need Broads Authority tolls, 5 need lake registration where the lake authority requires it and 15 need the navigation's own licence. Coastal marinas usually need none.
