How much can you save by taking a berth at Torquay Marina?

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.

8m berth for sale

The 8m berth is for sale for £30,000 plus an annual service of circa £1,312. You can moor until 2034.

Assuming no increase in annual service charge this = an annual cost of owning this berth of £3812.

During the berthing year 2023/24, the rate for renting an 8m berth at Torquay Marina is £5357.44.

Therefore the saving you would make each year over renting would be £1545.44 or £18,545.28 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.
