Marinas for boats over 30m with a boat hoist or crane on the South Coast
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. Sites that can lift your boat out on their own hoist or crane, for blacking, antifouling, surveys and winter ashore.
