Choosing a good mooring spot is important. This is the home base for your boat, so its going to be somewhere you visit whenever you use or work on the boat. Its regular use brings up some important things to consider.

A few things to keep in mind when choosing a mooring spot include the costs, types of boat, getting a boat licence and boat maintenance. Unless you intend to continuously cruise the network throughout the year, a good mooring spot is essential.

Another important consideration is which waterway the boat should be based on. Often this is close to a place of employment, family or friends. Otherwise, you might choose to moor your boat on the other side of the country from where you live.

Generally finding the right boat at the right price is fairly straightforward, but finding somewhere to berth it can be extremely difficult. It is therefore an absolute necessity to find a permanent mooring before buying a boat.
