Depending on where you live, how close you are to where you want to sail and the size of the boat you choose, will determine a prime location for your new boat, therefore the following points may be beneficial:

• The stretch of water you wish to go boating on.
• Will you be able to use you boat easily and safely.
• Can the surrounding area provide places to go boating/visit, as it would be very frustrating to have limited places to visit or for the need to boat many hours each day.
• How easy you travel arrangements could be. At the height of the season some locations may take long periods of time to arrive or depart from.
• The safest and most secure way is to use a Marina. Whilst the location of the Marina is important, quite often Marina’s a little further along the coast can provide a friendlier atmosphere for a fraction of the cost expected from the best known No.1 spot.

Other ways you could moor your boat could be:

• On a private swinging mooring, on a river, or in a harbor.

As part of our mooring locator service, we aim to consider all your interests to help find the right Marina/mooring for you.
