Boatyards, marinas & moorings on UK canals & waterways

Places to more your boat

Most boat owners who are not ‘continuously cruising’ will need to pay for a mooring place for their boat on UK canals and rivers and to enable them to licence their boat.

Long term Moorings are available ‘online’ along some waterways, usually on the non-towpath side.
Marinas and boatyards offer long and short term moorings off the main line of the canal. Canal marinas and canal boatyards can provide more security, a range of useful services and less chance of disturbance to your moorings by passing boats.
Both marinas and boat yards frequently offer the same maintenance and repair services and may sell second hand and new canal boats.
Not all boatyards provide moorings, some concentrate on canal boat servicing and maintenance.
Wherever possible we give an email address and indicate the range of facilities available.
