Marinas for boats over 24m with boat repairs on site
Marinas and harbours that say they take boats over 24m (80ft): a stated maximum length, or a published price for a boat that size. Canal sites that only take narrowboats are left out; see 70ft narrowboat moorings for those. Large yacht berths are few and often booked well ahead, so ask early. Sites with an engineer, workshop or boatyard on site, so jobs get done without moving the boat.
