Boaters are searching — but most operators are still hard to find

Right now, boaters search across Facebook groups, forum threads, scattered websites and word of mouth to find berths and moorings. Operators with real availability, waiting lists or visitor berths often never appear at all. BerthFinder changes that — a straightforward place to list your operation, be found by the right audience, and receive direct enquiries.

Facebook groups

Unstructured, inconsistent, and easy to miss

Sailing forums

Outdated threads with no clear enquiry path

Word of mouth

Limited reach and hard to scale

BerthFinder

Your marina listed clearly, direct enquiries to you, no commission on enquiries

Why operators partner with BerthFinder

Verified listing across 20,575+ global marinas

Your marina sits alongside 20,575+ marinas and harbours across 69+ countries — the world's most comprehensive berthing directory.

Qualified enquiries with vessel specs pre-attached

Boaters save their vessel profile (LOA, draft, beam, shore power requirement) once. Every enquiry arrives with their full specs attached — no chasing for basic information.

Shore power matching built in

Superyacht operators tell us their amperage requirements (15A to 500A, single or 3-phase). We match vessels to berths that can actually accommodate them. No more mismatched bookings.

Demand intelligence dashboard

See what boaters in your region are actually searching for — vessel sizes, timing, berth types, shore power needs. Real demand data before you've even spoken to a boater.

Every fitting enquiry, in full, zero commission on them

Every enquiry that fits comes to you in full and you answer it on one page; the boater's email address comes with the paid plan, or at no monthly cost on our 5% terms, where you pay only when a boater books, so you can deal direct. Nothing payable however many you receive. You control the pricing.

Manage your listing yourself

Upload photos, update specs, respond to enquiries — all from your operator dashboard. No emailing us every time something changes.

Frequently asked questions

Who is BerthFinder for?
Marinas, harbours, yacht clubs, mooring operators, berth brokers and private berth owners — anyone who wants enquiries from boaters actively searching for berth space. Boaters use it for free; marinas answer free, and the boater's email address comes with the paid plan, or at no monthly cost on our 5% terms, where you pay only when a boater books.
Is there a fee to join BerthFinder?
No upfront fee. The free tier gives a verified listing once claimed. The Operator subscription is £149/month, one price whatever the size of your marina, and additional sites in a multi-site group are £99/month. The subscription includes introductions — subscribers pay no introduction fees. Brokers and private berth owners list free — see the berth sales terms for the success fee that applies only when a sale or letting completes.
Do you take commission on bookings or enquiries?
Never on an enquiry — every enquiry that fits comes to you in full and nothing is payable however many you receive, or for answering them. A success fee exists only where it was agreed in writing first: on berth sales and lettings listed through us, and on introductions where a marina has agreed our introduction terms — 5% of what the boater pays you for the stay, excluding VAT, GST or other sales tax, on any length of stay from a visitor night to an annual contract, with no minimum. We invoice monthly, and a month under £20 (or the equivalent in your currency) carries over. Marinas on the paid Operator subscription pay no introduction fee; a free trial is not a paid subscription. Where no fee has been agreed in writing, none is payable.
How are enquiries handled?
Every enquiry that fits comes to you in full and you answer it on one page; the boater's email address comes with the paid plan, or at no monthly cost on our 5% terms, where you pay only when a boater books, so you can deal direct. Other marinas answer free, and the boater gets the answer through us.
Can we control how availability is presented?
Yes — set Available / Limited / Full on your page, free. Boaters see the status you set. When you are Full, boaters can join a waiting list and you are notified automatically.
What happens after we apply?
We verify your operation (ownership, legitimacy, or operational authority), then work with you on how your listing is presented — enquiry routing, access model, key public details. Then your profile goes live.
Can multi-site operators join?
Yes — group operators get a dedicated group page plus individual listings per site. Your first site is priced as normal (£149/mo); every additional site in the same group is £99/month flat — no separate £149 decision per site. Contact us at [email protected] to get set up as a group.
I am a private berth owner — can I list my berth for sale or rent?
Yes — listing is free. We write the listing with you. Every enquiry comes to you by email with the buyer contact details included, and you reply to them directly. A success fee applies only if it sells or lets through us, agreed in writing before it goes live.
I am a broker with multiple berths — is there a package for me?
Yes — brokers list free: every berth you represent under one account. Every enquiry comes to you by email with the buyer contact details included, and you reply to them directly. We charge a success fee only when a deal we introduced completes, agreed in writing up front. No subscription.
