What do other boatyards/marinas charge for a lift out and return to water??

Ours is 10.5 metres and is £329! Non berth holders pay more. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

...and I thought I was badly done by

Pwllheli £110 each way and Porthmadog £80 each way.

 

[Will]

£105 each way, or £60 for a racing scrub i.e. out & hold in slings and pressure wash then straight back in. That's at Plymouth Yacht Haven.

 

[DAKA]

11m
£40 out
£40 in
We all help each other, hire a crane and start at 0600 hrs takes all day.
Same charge for 50ft.

I've always thought it was quite expencive at our place, and i don't think theres any negociating there.
If only they did a lift and hold over lunch or something, with time Glen takes for lunch, you'd have plenty of time to scrub and Antifoul your 33footer. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

On Medway.Around £ 50.00 will get you out and £50.00 to get you back or about £150.00 for in/out and ashore for a week.

Exmouth £50 plus VAT each way. Limit 6 tons.

 

[garymo]

Hythe Marina £300 for lift out, jet wash and return.

 

[Andrew_Fanner]

Club: about £40 with a week ashore IIRC

You lot need to look at Drivers Wharf . As a berth holder it costs me about 15 quid for a lift. Non berth holders is more, but that still shows what an utter utter rip off MDL etc are when an independant yard can do it so cheap.

For Tommy, it's over £450 out and the same in again

 

[MadMat]

I'm gonna buy myself a crane, I'll be a millionaire within weeks!

 

[Jon_Eads]

Hmmm...

If you can get a lift out for "£15 quid", good luck to you as that doesn't even cover the cost of one mans wages!

 

[MadMat]

Why would I need any luck, are you calling me a liar?

Have you spoken to Gill at Drivers Wharf? My boat, 29', 3.25 tonnes, on a trailer, costs me about 15 quid to launch or recover. Maybe it's 16 quid+VAT or something, it's been a while since I last launched so I can;t remember exactly, of course it varies with length/weight. There are 2 cranes available, one smaller one for boats up to about 4 tonnes, and a large one owned/operated by GM Lifting which I think (not sure though, it might be bigger) is about 60 tonnes. It's a very friendly yard, both crane drivers and the yard guys are all decent, friendly and competant guys.

Of course, it's no skin off my nose, if you don't believe me, please feel free to keep paying MDL prices.
