• It’s never just about the berth. Welcome to Torquay Marina

  When you are looking at moving into a new marina berth, it’s important not just to look closely at the marina, but what surrounds it.

  This is where Triangle Berth Brokers can help. We try to match boat owners with a berth that is best for them. We understand that if you are planning to spend a lot of time tied up to your berth then you’ll probably want more in the surrounding area than a boater who is planning to spend their time cruising.

  Nic and Marie will take the time to ask you the questions we need to help you moor up your boat in a marina that will be right for you.

• Lease berths for sale in Leros Marina

  Market-leading Triangle Berth Brokers have partnered with Leros Marina in Greece. ‘The safest port in the Aegean Sea’ to offer lease berths for sale.

  Leros Marina in Lakki Harbour is a modern 220-berth marina. It can accommodate vessels from 10m to 50m mega yachts.

  There are a limited 50 marina leases available to buy. Triangle can offer leases for 10, 15, 20, 25 or 35 years. After year 2 the lease is transferable and can be resold.

  Why buy a lease berth?

  • Buying a lease berth offers the purchaser a chance to fix their berthing costs for the years left on the lease.

  • Leases sold can offer a significant discount vs the cost of paying for annual rental on the marina berth.

  • At Leros Marina, you can save from 30%-50% off the cost of your berth. This discount is based on the cost of an annual berth at today’s price. In 10, 15, 20, 25 or 35 years the annual rates will have gone up, yet buying a long lease will protect you from any increase.

  Why buy from Triangle Berth Brokers?

  • Triangle is an independent berth brokerage since 1990 we have specialised in the sale and letting of long lease berths.

  • We work with both independent and group marinas in Europe and the UK.

  • Our client’s pay no more for a marina berth by using Triangle Berth Brokers. They can benefit for our independent advice and guidance.

• Looking for an annual marina berth in Hamble? Then maybe we can help.

  Are you looking to rent a marina berth in Hamble? Did you know that not all of the marina berths in Hamble are owned by MDL Marinas?

  Back in the 1990’s, some of the berths at Hamble Point Marina, Port Hamble Marina and Mercury Yacht Harbour were sold to private individuals under long leases. These individuals are more commonly known as lease berth holders.

  The leases on all 3 Hamble marinas are valid until 2034/2035. They allow the owner to berth their boat in their own HM land-registered marina berth. If they don’t wish to use the marina berth themselves, it is included in their lease berth contract that they can sublet the berth.

  Since 1990 Triangle has an ongoing relationship with the owners of many of the lease berths in the 3 marinas in Hamble. When a lease berth holder wishes to sell their berth or rent it out, many tend to do so through Triangle Berth Brokers.

  What is the advantage of renting a sublet berth in Hamble?

  The owner of the Hamble marina berth has certain obligations when they come to sublet their berth.

  They cannot charge less than the published MDL marina rates for the rent of the berth. However, as many of the Hamble berths are owned by individuals. The rental cost of the marina berth is not subject to VAT. This means that to rent a berth in Hamble as a sublet rather than through the marina, you can save circa 20%.

  Are there any differences in the service I will receive from the Hamble Marinas if I rent through Triangle?

  As you will be renting from the berth owner and not the marina there is one main difference. The MDL group offer ‘Freedom Berthing’. This allows annual berth holders to visit any other MDL marina free of charge. As a sub-letter, you will be limited to 30 days per year of free nights at other MDL marinas.

  All of the other perks of being an MDL berth holder are the same. You will receive a car parking permit, which allows you to park free of charge at most of the other MDL marinas. You will receive discounts on boat lifts and also fuel at cost from MDL fuel stations.

  How can I find out whether you have a Hamble Marina berth suitable for my boat?

  If you are looking for a marina berth to rent in Hamble, whether at Hamble Point Marina, Port Hamble Marina or Mercury Yacht Harbour. Please get in touch with us.

  We can see whether we have a marina berth that is suitable for your boat. If we don’t have anything now, if you agree, we will keep your details on file and let you know when a suitable berth becomes available.
