None of the 5 has told us in the last six weeks that it has space. We ask every site regularly; the list above updates as they reply.

On top of the mooring fee: of these, 1 need Environment Agency registration (Thames, Medway, Anglian waterways) and 1 need the navigation's own licence. Coastal marinas usually need none.
