1 Royalty Moorings 2016/2017 A guide to moorings and dry berth facilities

2 Royalty Moorings Christchurch Harbour is set midway between the Solent and Poole Harbour and provides easy access to one of the most popular areas for boating on the south coast. The harbour offers practical and picturesque moorings for small to medium-sized craft. The Royalty Moorings reach down from the River Avon and Stour and cover approximately three-quarters of the Harbour. Within this area, there is a range of moorings from bankside and pontoon moorings in the river, to self laid swinging moorings in the harbour. Draught restrictions of a metre or less allow only small and medium sized craft to use the harbour. All craft, which moor in the harbour, must be able to rest on the bottom at low tide. The moorings are let on a metre encroachment basis over the bed of the river. All lets run from 1 April to 31 March. As is standard practice, all craft must have third party personal liability insurance for not less than 2,000,000. If you decide to take up a mooring, we ask that all mooring warps and chains are kept in a good state of repair and that adequate fendering is used. We also recommend that valuable equipment is not left on board when unmanned. Payments Payment for moorings must be made annually in advance unless you elect to pay by Direct Debit. This allows you to spread the cost of your mooring. The Waterloo Compound The compound consists of 52 dry storage docks and approximately 10 pontoon moorings. There is also a slipway, which allows easy access to the River Avon and the harbour. The site is fully enclosed with key access only. Local CCTV has also helped to increase the security of the site making the compound a practical and relatively safe place to keep a boat.
