A closer look at Norwich

Norwich is the gateway to the Norfolk Broads, England's largest protected wetland and one of the finest boating landscapes in Europe. The River Wensum flows through the city, connecting to the Yare and the broader Broads network at Trowse, just south of the city centre. Long-stay moorings are available both in the city and at marinas on the Broads, with the choice between urban convenience and the extraordinary peace of the Broadland landscape. Norwich itself is a compact, walkable medieval city with a Norman cathedral, independent markets, and excellent arts venues — an underrated liveaboard destination that offers genuine value and outstanding access to one of the most beautiful waterway regions in England.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licence to moor long-term?

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.

What's included in a typical mooring fee?

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.

How long are long-term mooring contracts?

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.
