Renting moorings is becoming increasingly popular as there are periods when moorings in certain areas are popular to rent. Rents are subject to normal supply and demand pressures and can also be seasonal with rents rising in summer months. Longer term rents tend to be discounted 15% to 25%. Renting moorings are a great way to defray mooring ownership costs.
If you are thinking of buying or renting an existing mooring make sure that the mooring has:
- A current Certificate of Inspection
- That it has adequate swing room for your vessel;
- That the mooring makeup is suitable for the size of your vessel.
