In most marina's the 'overall' length' of the boat, including bow sprits, diving platforms anchors sticking out etc.

Most of the marinas know the length of boats .. You just got to watch you dont have anything overhanging .. We have a bowsprit that pulls back when not in use so no overhang .. With it out would cost £1.50 a night extra or £200 a year .. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

In Holland permanent moorings are charged by the square metre, based on length X breadth.
Visitor moorings are charged by length only.

In Mediterranean France, beam also comes in to the equation because boats are moored end-on, not side-on.
Thus, if you have a 10 meter boat, you might find a variety of berths on offer, 10 x 3.0, 10 x 3.2, 10 x 3.4, etc. The beamier the berth the more expensive it will be. Remember to allow room for fenders, too - although on one side only.
