most expensive moorings(excluding the Solent)

[Siosarnoir]

Taking advantage of some fine weather , we went to Salcombe last Friday. They still have no shower or toilet facilities , and there was no rubbish disposal facility near our mooring but they still charged us almost £20 for one night on a buoy. Is this the most expensive mooring in the UK excluding the Solent?

Probably the dearest including the Solent - I don't know anywhere here that would charge £20 on a buoy.

Could you amend the title so that it's quite clear you mean VISITORS' moorings please?
hat will avoid ambiguity and wasted posts.

 

[l'escargot]

Why would I want to do that?

 

[Siosarnoir]

yes its visitors moorings we are talking about

How do they offer rubbish disposal near mooring buoys anyway? Fendered skips maybe. [cue joke about your least favourite boat builder]

Should that be directed to the original thread poster? I get confused.

Why, do you know of any non-visitors yacht moorings that cost more than £20 a day? If so, it would be interesting to hear about them...

I know of a sailing club in Portmouth that charges 12.00 for a night on a visitor's buoy, but you get access to good showers and a really good bar. I thought that was good value.

It'll be the SWMBO - allows a certain no. every month AND NO MORE until the spare bedroom is redecorated. You know how it is...

No - if you bring your boat up to the Bristol channel and warn us beforehand, you will be charged £45 for the night.

Don't know /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif The most expensive one I could find was this one at £5 a night:

and that's in the Solent. These ones were free /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif:

For future reference, there are some toilets on the Eastern side of the river just off the beach opposite the main quay on the Western side... if that makes any sense. They aren't particularly brilliant, to say the least, but better than nothing, I suppose. I only found them by looking on the chart!
