Marinas for boats over 24m with a pub or café on the South Coast

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 a pub, restaurant or café on site or at the gate.
