Our swinging moorings offer a safe, convenient, and scenic place to keep your boat in one of the UK’s most beautiful natural harbours. Located close to open water, our moorings provide quick and easy access to Poole Bay and the wider Dorset coastline. With sheltered conditions and professional management, your vessel stays secure while you enjoy hassle-free boating all season long. Our water taxi service also makes getting to and from your mooring simple and stress-free

This option is perfect if you want:
• Easy launching and recovery

Our team can assist with launching, jet washing, and general care, so your boat is always ready when you are.
