Estuary and tidal river moorings for boats over 30m in Hampshire
Sheltered tidal water such as the Hamble, Dart, Medway, Orwell and the Thames tideway: marina pontoons, swinging moorings, piles and drying mud berths. Marinas and harbours that say they take boats over 30m (100ft): 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. Superyacht berths are few and often booked well ahead, so ask early.
