Canal Boatyards, marinas & moorings

UK canalside and riverside boatyards and marinas, moorings, boat docking & other boatyard facilities.

If you are thinking of buying your own boat, you'll need somewhere to moor it and to keep it maintained. There are 'online' moorings along many stretches of canals, but the increasing trend is towards mooring off the main line of the canal, in marinas. Marinas can provide more security, a range of useful services and less chance of disturbance to your moorings by passing boats. However marina moorings are currently in short supply, and they do cost more! Many canal boatyards and marinas also have boats for sale, carry out maintenance and repairs and operate chandleries and canalside shops.

BollardMoorings & Boatyard Services. Boatyards also frequently have associated moorings.  Boatyards and marinas both usually offer boat supplies and maintenance facilities. Marinas frequently sell second hand and new canal boats, some boatyards do too. Because of the obvious overlaps we've listed canal marinas and canal boatyards together here. This list is not complete, we are continually adding to it. Wherever possible we have given an email address.

Please mention CANAL JUNCTION when you contact boatyards or marinas. (If phoning from outside the UK omit the first 0.) We provide these contact details as an information service, it is prudent to check all businesses you wish to deal with.

Moorings can cost from about 25 pence per foot of boat length per week, up to about 60 pence per foot per week. That equates to from £500 to about £1400  per year for a forty five foot boat, or £900 to £2300  per year for a full length (70 foot) boat. These figures are for annual moorings, short term moorings may cost more. More expensive moorings may be expected to have more facilities, such as showers and washrooms, or may be in a more popular area.
