Are your Berthing fee renewal demands due?

[TSB240]

How much increase do you expect?

Would you pay in advance for next year?

My boat is based in Brittany and, judging by previous years, any increase in the fees I pay to Compagnie des Ports du Morbihan will be small.

CPM offers a discount (2% I think) for prompt payment of the whole year's fees in January.

Same as Poignard. If mine goes up more than 100 Euros, I'll be surprised.

I left marina berthing after a 25% increase in fees and only being offered a 12 month contract last year!

I wouldn't be surprised if the covid chicken comes home to roost.

All those that, in my opinion, complained about mooring fees coz they couldn't use their boats due to a global pandemic, may find marina operators will claw back the dosh.

Hope I'm wrong......

In Plymouth it was more of the impact of boats 'returning from over the water'. The marinas are rammed full of boats that never leave their moorings.

 

[Northern Star]

I pay monthly and it was £398 a month and is now £414 from April next year.

Discount for early payment of the full amount in advance next month but the early sign up discount went during covid.

Has to be said that the MDL marina offers fewer services and discounts plus there are fewer staff on site now too and no free gift like we used to get.

Same as Poignard. If mine goes up more than 100 Euros, I'll be surprised.

Mine in Roscoff has gone up from 2950 to 3200 euros, electricity is still currently included

 

[Boathook]

I will find out about my yard and mooring fees in the new year. ?

 

[Chiara’s slave]

We’ve moved moorings, but the renewal notice from Cowes harbour commission was for about a 4% increase.

 

[Blueboatman]

When I used Premier their pay-ahead deal was really one of the better ones .
Changed hands , Well-being something or other Trust, different times, different boat market but , equally , a contracting economy ( again ) as well …hmmmm

 

[Praxinoscope]

Just South of Aberystwyth, we at Aberaeron are biting our finger nails whilst waiting to fond out what Ceredigion are going to charge us next year.

 

[Amlov]

At Teignmouth it was a staggering 20% increase.

With swinging increases like that sailing will revert back to the sport of the very wealthy and lose a many of us who just manage to fund their hobby.

Which will result in a lot of cheaper boats coming to the market & more people willing to "give it a go" & so the cycle continues. ?
But there are always people waiting to take one's place. I expect that most well placed, tidy, marinas, in the wealthier areas, will have no issues filling spots.
Visitors do take up empties & some marinas have to turn late arrivals away in busy times.

4% increase at our marina for year commencing 01/04/23 paid annually. Bill presented Feb for settlement by 30/03/23
There is facility for monthly payment, but I cannot understand why anyone would want to pay extra. Unless they intended to abscond mid season.

 

[Praxinoscope]

#16, cheap boats maybe, but the problem will be affording to keep them somewhere.

 

[RunAgroundHard]

15% increase for next year . I paid early and in full to take advantage of discount. The marina is full, with significant waiting list, their costs will go up, it does not feel fair, it is excessive, but that is market forces for you.

 

[dankilb]

Up 10% this year - same as last. Electricity at £1pu on the bollard is arguably a bigger hit still!

If the boat is a "give away" price down from what it might have been, then it is not so bad
