I am interested in mooring a boat 7.7m but am not sure of cost or where is the cheapest. Any advice would be Wellcome
you might need to be a bit more specific about your location. I live in Geelong and there are no licenses available here so you need to go into a yacht club. I think one club here has mooring for $1k a year or so I think if available.
but a mooring in Queenscliff sells for $15k at the moment.
it all works very different here than in Sydney.
My boat's a similar size and l keep it at RMYS on a swing mooring (St Kilda). It's about 2k per year plus you need to be a member.
If you can get a Parks mooring it can be less than $1k per year. Hampton might be your closest.. otherwise as above..moorings for purchase at Blairgowrie etc.
ParksVictoria is the local authority: www.parks.vic.gov.au/water-management/moorings-and-berths/annual-moorings
W'port is very tidal, which might be OK or it might be hassle. There the closest moorings to you will be Warneet (swing moorings to buy) or renting a berth at Yaringa marina or the Hastings marina or buying a swing mooring there.
In PPB you might have only Moordialloc, Mornington or further south such as Mt Martha or the Rye area, but a bit exposed.
Ebay and Gumtree might be the best way to find moorings for sale, otherwise paper notices stapled to notice boards. Websites for the marinas, but it depends on the budget too.
Put an add on a yacht club noticeboard. There are a few moorings that don't have boats on them that you might be able to rent for about $100 a month. Make sure the owner gets it inspected and maintained. The rental will cover the cost of the annual inspection and maintenance and could come in handy for the owner who has his yacht in the marina and wants to keep their mooring. There are a few if you ask around Blairgowrie.
