Cat Cost Question

[John_Silver]

Discovered, to my pleasant surprise, that my home marina charges berth fees, for catamarans, on LOA only. With no beam surcharge. Although they pointed out that others in the (MDL) group do levy a supplement - presumably in the South Coast marinas. Cat owners, what is the norm when cruising? Surcharge or same as the monos? Particularly interested in experience relating to the Channel / Atlantic coast of France & N Spain. Or Ireland. I'm thinking in the 11-12m x 7m size bracket (if that makes a difference).

There are no rules. We pay no extra on our home mooring, but on the basis we have 1 side folded in the summer 6 months, we are fully unfolded 1st Oct to 1st April. We paid no extra for a multihull berth at the Folly regardless. Some marinas use tape measures on your boat. La Trinite, and quite a few other French atlantic ports are properly pro multi, they’re disappointed if you haven’t turned up in an Ultim.
