Lymington Harbour Commissioners let moorings on an annual basis from the 1st April each year. We have 502 river moorings and 155 walk ashore pontoon moorings for boats up to 10.5m in length.
The waiting list and mooring allocations are open to people who permanently reside on the mainland within 7 miles of Lymington Church and who are the owner or majority shareholder of the boat.
Moorings are allocated from the waiting list with seniority being based on a combination of time served on the waiting list and boat compatibility with the available mooring.
Waiting list times are currently between 3 months and 20+ years depending on the type and size of boat requested and the type and location of mooring.
Note: With effect from 15/03/2021 Commissioners reduced the maximum boat size for new applications or changes to existing applications to 10.5m. This was in response to LHC's long term strategy to improve access to the water. By restricting the maximum boat size, in time LHC will be able to reconfigure its moorings to provide more moorings overall. In coming to this decision, Commissioners also took account of the length of the waiting list for boats over 10.5m.
