What is a residential mooring?

A residential mooring is your home and permanent residence with a waterfront view- just with an added sense of freedom and a simpler existence. It’s your registered UK postal address, your legally recognised residence, and you enjoy all the normal services, such as waste disposal and other public services. It is your address for Council Tax purposes too, so take a look at our Guide to residential living, this might help you. The beauty of living on your boat is that you enjoy a private waterside location away from the world, you are part of a close-knit community of people who think like you do, and if you fancy a change of scenery you can discuss with our team about relocating to another available location on the marina.
