Location guide
York is one of England's most visited historic cities, and its waterfront on the River Ouse is an integral part of its character. Long-stay moorings are available at several locations in and around the city, including marinas south of the city centre and CRT visitor moorings in the heart of York itself. The Ouse connects south to the Aire & Calder Navigation and north toward the Yorkshire Dales, while the Foss provides additional access eastward. York's medieval walls, independent food scene, and superb rail connections make it an outstanding liveaboard base. The city floods periodically — local knowledge about seasonal water levels and emergency mooring protocols is essential for long-term residents.
