I’m not all surprised that revenue wasn’t what might have been hoped for

Will be interesting to see how many moorings are available for this season

Didn't help getting mooring money by using an parking app that no one had heard, of and when you did look at the app the reviews were nearly all one star. I looked at using the app but came to the conclusion it wasn't worth down loading it.

When I last visited, some of the ecco buoys seemed to missing the mooring strops which made them unusable.

I suspect if they ever want to get serious about collecting fees then they will need to send someone out in a boat to collect them in the morning and again later for the lunchtime visitors.

Not all of us want to download some garbage app, I dont and wont do banking on my phone these apps can potentially be a back door in through security a man in a boat sounds a much better idea. If someone has put a buoy in and maintains it Im more than happy to give them some bucks for a good nights sleep.

I feel that my phone is as safe as my PC for banking apps.

For Studland I prefer to anchor as it is so shallow. Man and boat monitoring the mooring buoys costs money and outside of school holidays, Studland can be fairly empty midweek. Once a fewyears back I waste only boat there during the day. I started to wonder whether I had missed something in the forecast ! Boats started to eventually turn up early evening.

For boatfolk marina berth holders , it feels we’ve already paid upfront within our marina fees that boatfolk have very kindly sponsored the eco moorings in Studland Bay , there are alternative mooring nearby with the use of anchors if you don’t want to pay - Swanage Bay . Swanage Bay was noticeably more popular last season ! Or if you a seeking a mooring buoy , Swanage Sailing Club have a number for use by visiting yachts , £10 / night last season , at least all the money goes to a sailing club!

I've never found Swanage as settled as Studland. But then at Studland I am in shallow water and just an easy dinghy paddle from the beach.
