where to moor a 25 metre yacht?

[aztec]

where on the south/south west coast UK can you moor (liveaboard) a 25 metre motor yacht?

and what price for such a mooring.

.... just another stupid idea!

thanks already.

i found no real probs with 23metres for a season. But I didn't liveaboard -altho there was always a crewperson on board so *they* were liveaboard and nobody mentioned a thing. In foreign marinas they actully expect someone on board all time (and monaco it's the local requirtement) so this marina concern about liveaboarding i think is just a way of charging a bit of loot extra.

Many marinas have a double-up berth or hammerhead but don't advertise it too much. Port solent, gunwharf, brighton, plymouth QMH and outside, brighton, lots of places. They seem to like a big boat, makes a change perhaps. No idea of the prices, i've blanked it from my mind!

saxon wharf or hamble yot services are crane/haulout options. They won't lift a boat *just* inside the limits of weight which will be bout er 35 tons at least and possibly a lot more if displacement type? Hence 80-ton crane needed.

thanks Mat, that gives me more of an option.

hamble sounds ok, as i know a couple of people down that way.

still seems like a daft idea, but if i don't consider the options i'll never know.

thanks again.

key is to ringem first, of course, you can't just pitch up at most places as with smaller boat.

But on the plus side, bigger boats tend to clear off more frequently and go somehwere else completely like med or wherever unlike smaller solent-based boats, so spaces come up without big problem. And if you want to move around, nice things like booking ahead at Yarmouth or the Folly become suddenly quite possible.

I don't think its more than twice as expensive as a 12.5 metre, frinstance - unlike the med where a 25metre is several times more than a 12.5 - the pressure is on smaller berths in the solent, larger berths in the med, it seems.

If you go down to the med you wont have any problem to find a mooreing.

All you do is call the capitanerie in StTropes Cannes Nice or Monticarlo tell them when your arriveing if you want 220v 380v or 500v or all three when you arrive they will have a crew ashore and if you wish or if they think you need it a boat to help with the bow they will even call you Sir and say please and thankyou!!

For some reason boats under 20m dont quite get the same treatment?? And they never called or call me sir nor say please nor thankyou??
