Mylor Yacht Club Moorings
Mooring Information 2025
The Club has 30 swinging moorings within Mylor Yacht Harbour that are run as a non-profit making service for members. The moorings are laid and available for use (dependant on weather conditions) between 1 April and 30 September annually. However, to comply with the terms of our lease of the fundus members need to vacate their mooring no later than 30 September to enable traditional oyster fishing to commence.
We endeavour to be competitive in our charges and fees for the following season are usually available in November for the following season once we know the likely maintenance costs from our subcontractor. We have moorings that can accommodate boats of various sizes with a few moorings configured to take boats up to 36 foot (10.97 metres). The maximum draft we can accepted is determined by the LAT around our Fundus, which is 1.6 metre (although our outer moorings are set in deeper water).
Moorings come with a pick-up buoy and fitted mooring chain but members may ask to have their own mooring strop fitted; however, our mooring contractor may only do this and the use of a member’s own mooring strop is entirely at the owner’s risk. Once allocated, moorings can be retained by members for as long as they wish and subject to approval, members can be sublet through the Club for up to 2 years if a member finds that they cannot make use of the mooring for a significant period.
Whilst we endeavour to allocate members the same mooring every year, we do retain the right to reallocate boats around the fundus to make the most efficient use of the fixed configurations of our moorings. A link to the terms and conditions of use of the moorings (MYC Mooring Agreement) and some ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ can be found below. Moorings are professionally maintained, annually lifted for inspection and serviced by Mylor Mooring Services Ltd.
Allocation of vacant moorings is on a first come first served basis against appropriately sized moorings. If a full tenancy mooring is not available, members may be offered a sublet for just one year. This does give the member some priority when a full tenancy mooring becomes available. There is always a waiting list for club moorings and it is difficult to predict how long the waiting period may be since it does depend on other holders relinquishing their moorings. It can be anything from instantly to several year but we do compare favourably with Fowey where the waiting period is reputedly 30 years!
If you are interested in a Club mooring, please do contact the Mooring Officer for either more information or to be added to the waiting list. The moorings are located on the outer edge of the Mylor Harbour moorings as shown on the image and fee for 2025 has been set at £32 per foot with a minimum charge based on a nominal 26 foot LOA.
