Berthing
Period
From 1st April until 31st October. There will be no further charge for boats remaining on the water during the winter period.
Refunds
No refunds will be made if a berth is subsequently vacated unless we are able to re-let that berth. In which case we will refund the difference, on a pro-rata basis, less a 10% arrangement fee. This is only applicable during the summer period.
Length
All measurements will include outdrives, davits, dinghies, and any other projecting feature.
Payment
The berthing fee is payable in full, in advance, on or before March 31st. Failure to complete payment by this date will result in the berth being made available for re-allocation.
Tenders
Due to the limited space available, this is restricted to one tender per berth, to be stored at our discretion. No charge will be made for this.
Electricity
Supply is available to most berths by arrangement. Please contact us for the current charge rates.
Boat Handling
Work of any kind will be charged separately at our standard yard labour rate. Please contact us for the current charge rates.
