If you have been looking through Triangle’s listings of marina berths for sale then you may be wondering what a long lease marina berth is?
You may also be thinking about what it is you’ll be getting if you buy a berth. After all, it’s not like buying a house, for starters the water on which your boat sits will change with each tide!
Nic explains more about buying a lease berth in the following podcast with Nomad Sailing.
What is a lease berth?
When you purchase a long lease marina berth you are buying the right to moor your vessel in the marina. Berths are mostly on a dedicated berth but sometimes it’s the right to moor in the marina as a whole. This right is for a predetermined length of time.
Where can I find lease berths?
Leases are very popular in marinas across Europe. You will find some marinas are exclusively operated this way. In the UK these berths do exist but in selected marinas and only a small % of the marina berths are owned.

I own a marina, how can I introduce a lease berth programme?
Since 1990 Triangle have assisted marina operators in introducing lease berthing schemes. A long lease program can be an attractive offer when building out a new marina or extending an existing one. Providing finance upfront as well as introducing berth holders who will have a vested interest in the marina doing well.
