But did you ask for new pontoons? Or a heater?

Why aren't there Aldi/Lidl/Ryanair type marinas?
Nothing but the bare minimum. After all, it's only a place to park the boat.
I don't care for marina facilities - I hope to spend as little time there as possible as I'd rather spend my time on the water.

And why do marinas yards charge so much for a river mooring? You can lay your own (or have laid) one every year for less than they charge. I had my old one made and laid for £350, and then it cost about £20 a year to replace shackles and swivels.

Maybe because they mow the weed on the river bed? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sensibly

They charge what the market will bear.

If they had lots of empty moorings they'd know they'd got it wrong.

If they're full, well there's obviously ;-) lots of empty heads out there.
