Questions
Which moorings with waiting lists in the North West have space now?
None of the 9 has told us in the last six weeks that it has space. We ask every site regularly; the list above updates as they reply.
Do I need a licence as well as a mooring?
On top of the mooring fee: of these, 7 need a Canal & River Trust boat licence and 1 need lake registration where the lake authority requires it. Coastal marinas usually need none.
