Harbour fees for boats

Harbour dues are fees that are paid for the time a ship is moored and stays in a port or marina. These fees are set by the harbour or marina operators and usually depend on various factors. Here are some factors that influence harbour fees:

Harbour fees for boats

  • Boat size and type: Harbour fees are generally based on the size and type of boat. Larger and luxurious boats usually pay a higher fee, while small and medium-sized boats can be rented at more favourable rates.
  • Location of the harbour or marina: Harbour fees also vary depending on the location of the harbour or marina. Harbours and marinas in popular tourist areas in particular tend to charge higher fees.
  • Length of stay: Harbour fees usually depend on how long the boat stays in the harbour or marina. A lower fee may be charged for short stays, while discounts may apply for longer stays.
  • Services and facilities: The services and facilities offered by the harbour or marina also affect the harbour dues. For example, additional charges may be levied for additional services such as electricity and water connections, shower and toilet facilities or internet access.
  • Season and demand: During the summer holidays, harbours and marinas are generally busier and harbour fees can increase during this time. Early booking and planning during peak periods can reduce costs.

In general, harbour fees depend on many factors, and each harbour or marina may have a different fee policy. Boat owners should take harbour and marina fees into account when planning their budget.
