ISTR this was covered in an earlier thread and that it's the commercial anchorage that's been deleted

Aha, found the thread on the ECF where Tiller Girl got the word from the horses mouth ...

I heard that the anchoring charges in Dover were steep - possibly to encourage you into the marina.

Free. :encouragement:

I very happily stand corrected.

As Tradewinds says it's free up to 15m LoA

I think some people get confused (and indeed I nearly read it wrong myself) as the price list starts at 15m LoA and there's no mention of an anchorage charge for smaller craft

15m to 20m it's £27.50 per day, over 20m it's £41 per day by the way

Ah thanks. Didn't know that.

Definitely free for a 10m boat. Plenty room tonight

I have a rather out of date pilot book (only the Wellington Dock is listed for the marina) and it mentions the harbour authorities providing visitors buoys and a water taxi service to and from them. I have occasionally wondered when they were removed...
