Marinas for boats over 30m with electric hook-up in Scotland
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. Berths with shore power, so you can run heating and charge batteries without the engine.
