Mooring costs on the Thames

[Actionmat]

What is the going rate (per foot) for a Thames mooring? Not midstream, no marinas. I've been on the same spot for years and it's been going up in price but I've nothing to compare it to.

My riverside mooring in Windsor is bang on the same as the MDL marina that's less than a mile away.

Probably a reason for that...

 

[prof pat pending]

I've seen bankside moorings at £36/foot up this end...I suspect considerably more where you are

 

[Actionmat]

I should add, no water, no electricity, no overnight sleeping, bow on not bankside. The other end of the Thames is looking tempting for a change of scenery.

If you've not been up there, it's a different river above Oxford...Osney bridge keeps the riff-raff out
Manual locks above Godstow, which can be entertaining if there's no lockie, but very peaceful and friendly

I wouldn't keep a boat on the town council moorings at henley,security,no privacy etc.
An RLM won't go under Osney Bridge with a hard top.

How kind of you to say so. I don't charge by the foot. I only have two moorings free at this time. One will take up to 40' for which I want £3k p.a. the other is in a Cut will take up to 29' and I want £2k. I believe this is cheaper than a Marina. I have water & electric plus no petty restrictions.

Oh yes it will. I bottled it on the approach, moored up, dropped a tape measure from the top of the bridge and tried again, confident that I had between 1 and 2 inches(allowing for the arch). Then walloped the roof at Godstow on the way back:disgust:
Teddington to the Swinton Toll Bridge is the furthest I've been and it's very nice up there. If I hadn't spent months building a new roof from iroko I'd go back!

Thanks for the replies. I think I've gone from a great deal to a reasonable deal, but I'll be staying put for a while. I'd miss the convenience of being minutes from my mooring and I'd also miss Hampton Court and the occasional school run by boat

And shouting at passenger vessels. I like to keep the speeders on their toes

Ain't a real RLM if she ain't got a Francis Searchlight on the wheelhouse
