Making life better by water
We offer temporary moorings between November and February at selected locations around the network for those without a permanent mooring.
Winter moorings give boaters who don't already have a permanent mooring a chance to moor up for the winter months, while keeping enough space clear for those who want to continue cruising.
Winter moorings for 2026/27 will be available for up to four months from Sunday 1 November 2026 until Sunday 28 February 2027. Permits will be on sale from Thursday 1 October at 8am on a first come, first served basis.
More information and the list of winter mooring sites will be available in early September.
We've put together some helpful tips to help you prepare your boat for the colder months if you're not cruising
