    Clive, if I pay for the cabling, could I plug my house in at cove. £5 pcm + vat seem a fair deal to me ATM 🤔

    you  could get some cast and chromed, they never were particularly well finished,  you could  3D print some if no one will lend you theirs, ask Eddie at Vintage industrial switch to cast you some in brass, they are in Stalham he can design and 3d print too

    Pump Out Charges

    in Broads Chat

    Posted

    its not a real money spinner for a yard to do a pump out, its more of a service and possibly building a relationship so they can possibly get a bit of work out of you! A hire yard may do pump outs on non turnaround days just to give staff something to do..

    Brundall yards are generally a bit more expensive (if they do them )  as they have to tanker the S**T away as there is no mains sewer.. Im not sure what Brundall charges but north is generally £15 for one or £20 for two but some yards like to do them cheap and get the volume in..

    Space At Cove Marina

    in Local Broads Business Promotions and Information

    Posted

    Hi, 

    Since we took over Cove Marina last month I have basically been off work which wasn't  ideal, I did get the chance to meet a few moorers who all seem lovely but unfortunately there have been a few people selling boats at the end of the season and a couple of movers which despite some new arrivals have left us with a few spaces, we have spaces from 18' to a 'private' berth with summer house and garden which will take 46' 

    all the moorings are £56 +VAT per foot per year.. (except the private mooring)

    all moorings have electricity (£60 per year standing charge)

    WIFI, toilets, showers, all services etc, 

    we give refunds for any full months not used (less £50 admin)

    get in tough if you need a space or know anyone looking 

    Cheers, Clive 

    you can email cove@broadshols.co.uk 

    message me on here or text me, (my number is fairly easy to find!)

    Or how does providing private moorings compare to profits made from a hire fleet?

    After seeing the number of boatyards converted, I was just wondering if the margins are higher?

    No, they are not, but you need a mix, running a fleet is more interesting but you need skilled staff capable of doing the jobs  if you have the right team they will pay for some of the overhead on non turnaround days.

    Who Builds Most Boats

    We too have booked for next year and noticed a substantial price rise. Can probably just about stomach it for one year as all UK self catering seems to be going the same way, but if prices don't drop substantially the following year I can see a lot of trouble ahead, especially once foreign travel is fully open again. My fear is that this may happen next year making yards offer discounts for later bookings leaving those of us who booked early paying higher prices. A sure was for yards to doubly put off regular customers.

    its called 'Fluid Pricing' it was recently introduced to Boating, personally I feel that if you have someone prepared to put their trust in you and book a year in advance then its a bit rude to have the same holiday later sold at a lesser rate, I do not think it is healthy for the industry and encourages last minute booking which is dangerous,  that's why I came up with the Fair price charter (in my last job) that's been stopped now but its something Horning Pleasurecraft works to even though we have not advertised it. I do reserve the right to put prices up though,
