An aerial view of a crowded Mediterranean marina with every berth occupied

Berths, moorings and dry stack since 2003 · Barcelona · Plymouth

They stopped building
harbours. Boats kept coming.

Two hundred and fourteen berths currently listed across the western Mediterranean, the Ionian, the Algarve and the south coast of England. Every one carries its unexpired term, its transfer levy and last year's dues on the face of the listing.

  • Unexpired term stated
  • Transfer costs disclosed
  • Escrow through a local notary

Before you buy

The four things that go wrong

01

We advertise the years left, not the years granted

A ninety-nine-year berth with nineteen to run is a nineteen-year berth, and we head the listing that way. Sellers do leave us over it — three did last season, and two came back when nobody offered on the number they had in mind.

02

The transfer levy is on the listing, not in the small print

Most marinas take a cut of the sale price to approve a new holder, anywhere from nothing to nine per cent, and some take it from the buyer as well. We publish both sides before an offer, which regularly costs us the deal at the price the seller wanted.

03

We check the berth is not married to the boat

Plenty of berths are granted against a named vessel or a maximum beam, and lapse when she is sold. We withdrew eleven listings last year for exactly that, having already paid for the photography and the title search on all of them.

04

Dues outlive the tenure, and we say what they are

Annual charges, the dredging levy and the reinstatement clause at the end of a concession are quoted with the asking price. On two Ionian berths the sums made the honest answer a shorter lease elsewhere, and we said so.

Berth lending

What a berth costs to borrow against

Indicative secured lending at 7.4% representative. Lenders will advance against registered title or a long assignable lease; a licence or an annual mooring almost never qualifies, and a concession is usually capped at half its unexpired term.

  • Terms from 2 to 15 years
  • Freehold and long leasehold only
  • Term never exceeds the years remaining

“The berth I had my heart set on turned out to lapse the day the boat was sold, and they found it before I had spent anything. The one I bought instead cost me €17,400 in levy and notary on top, all of which was printed on the listing in February.”

About this page

Everything above is a demonstration

The business, the listings and the reviews are invented — this page exists to show what someone could put on marinaberth.com. The domain itself is genuinely for sale.

Domain for sale

marinaberth.com is available

You are looking at a demonstration, not a real business. We built it to show what this domain could carry — the company, the stock and the reviews are invented.

  1. 1

    Make an enquiry

    Tell us who you are and what you would use it for. It costs nothing and puts you under no obligation.

  2. 2

    Agree a price

    We reply with a price or consider your offer. Most conversations are settled within a couple of working days.

  3. 3

    Pay into escrow

    Funds go to a licensed third-party escrow agent, never straight to us. They hold the money until the transfer is confirmed.

  4. 4

    Take ownership

    We push the authorisation code to your registrar. You control the domain, usually within a week; escrow then releases the funds.

The demonstration site is not part of the sale by default — but if you want it, say so in your enquiry and we will include the source.
