Newbury Boat Company Ltd.

We are ‘riparian owners’ of Ham Manor Marina, (which means we own to the middle of the riverbed), so boats are not required to hold a Canal & River Trust License while moored at this marina.

The advantage for our moorers is you have a much wider choice of boat license available to you than simply having to purchase an annual license.

We are agents for Canal & River Trust licenses, and Gold licenses, so can talk you through the options available to enable you to choose the best one for the amount of time you expect to use the boat out on the waterway within a year.

The Canal & River Trust offer ‘Long Term’ licenses for a year, six months, three months.

They also offer Short Term licenses for one week or one month. These are more expensive pro-rata but can sometimes be handy.

It is now cheaper to purchase all CRT licenses on their web site, but if you have any problems deciphering the prices etc do give Emma a call.

If you do not use your boat on the waterway for large parts of the year, it is possible to make substantial savings by selecting the appropriate license to you. Do remember, this is not applicable to all marinas or moorings, our situation is quite unusual a riparian owner.

Please note: Boats at the marina must always hold a valid Boat Safety Certificate and Insurance, regardless of whether a CRT license is held at that time. All information is given in good faith. Newbury Boat Company can not be responsible for any changes in licensing requirements.

All moorings & parking subject to the British Marine Federation / Yacht Harbour Association Standard Berthing License Terms and Conditions
