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.

Moorings & 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.
