How much can you save by taking a berth at Hamble Point?

Sublet berths

MDL berth owners are allowed to sublet their lease berths as long as the rate for the berth does not undercut MDL current pricing. The price quoted is the current MDL rate less VAT.

The benefits of subletting a marina berth are very similar to the old “Freedom Berthing” package that MDL used to offer to berth holders.

This includes:

• Fuel at cost price
• Discounted lift outs
• Car parking permits
• Wi-fi on site
• 30 nights per year at other MDL marinas
• Storage ashore for 8 weeks between November and February, unlimited at other times.

Long lease berths for sale

We regularly hear from owners that the main reason for buying, rather than renting a marina berth is to fix their berthing costs. We try to make it easy to make a comparison vs renting the same size berth in the same marina.

12.5m berth for sale

The 12.5m berth is for sale for £58,000 plus an annual service of £2100. You can moor until 2034.

Assuming no increase in annual service charge this = an annual cost of owning this berth of £7,372.73.

During the berthing year 2023/24, the rate for renting a 12.5m berth at Hamble Point Marina is £12,873.50.

Therefore the saving you would make each year over renting would be £5,500.77 or £60,508.47 over the lifetime of owning the berth.

In actuality, over the period of the lease, you will save more money per annum as the marina increases its annual rental charges.
