Yes. Long-term moorings on CRT-managed waterways require a current boat licence. River moorings under the Environment Agency require an EA boat registration. Most marinas handle this paperwork as part of the mooring agreement.
Most mooring fees include the berth space itself. Electricity, water, pump-out, and parking are often metered or charged separately. Always ask for a full breakdown before signing.
Most contracts run for 3, 6, or 12 months. Annual contracts are the most common. Monthly rolling agreements are available at some sites but usually at a premium. Notice periods are typically 1-3 months.
