I would ask permission but after looking at me and the crew and the resultant sling your hook, we would be off into the sunset! 

Not if you were flying the NBN pennant and introduced yourself as Trambo!

You would be welcome alongside us for an evening of shared reminiscence of the old days of Hearts Cruisers, and the Broads of the 60s.

All that would be missing is Timbo, to record it for posterity!

You may have misunderstood me I was refering to BA moorings we dont wild moor as I have said before.

Apologies Fred.

Have been reading everything twice as this old brain slows down - probably need to start reading them three times now.

No problem partly my fault it should have read free not open moorings.

That could be a very long night or two!

Can someone moor alongside my private mooring without my permission? 

[ExSurveyor]

Welcome to the forum Oliver,

Short answer, No.

It is a private mooring.

[BroadAmbition]

I've often thought that a private boat could use our mooring in t wetshed when we are out and about, can't seem any harm in this assuming they are tolled insured etc but then if they weren't I wouldn't be offering it out in the first place.  I would of course have to contact Paul R. to clear it with him, which would mean bothering him and he's a busy bloke

As for the double mooring issue - I'm in favour of it as long as a polite request is received or offered.

Double mooring without first asking is a bit cheeky imho unless its some sort of emergency of course

Anyroadup, most of us effectively double moor on every stern on mooring we use

If its in a marina, then, hidden in the T&C's you just might find a bit about the yard using it short term - I know for a fact that at Ferry if you overwinter ashore, then they do use them despite the fact that you pay an annual fee!

Not really. I guess because inland boaters do not like other crews crossing their decks. You don't cross decks when stern on. However unless boats rafted up  sometimes four or five deep, many sea ports would have no capacity for cruising yachts.

Etiquette at sea dictates you cross others on the foredeck, and proper deck shoes must be worn.

There also appears to be a distrust of others with your lines if an inner boat wishes to leave early.

[rightsaidfred]

The main problem with double mooring on a holiday resort is that you don' find out what type of person they are till it's to late.

Heels are out then. Crikey, Griff would have kittens 

We wild moor or mud weight most nights so not a problem but if someone was to ask politely that would be fine although not really wanting people to clamber across the boat after a skinful in the pub

Or when having a shower perhaps??

Many years ago at Gt Yarmouth when it was common place to be moored 3 or 4 abreast, oh what fun everybody had when the boat moored nearest the quay wanted to leave first!

[grendel]

I wouldnt want a bigger boat mooring alongside if I was on the quayside, so that lets me out of about 95% of possible candidates, that said I could see myself moving to the outside in this situation for someone I knew.

Or fall and hurt themselves on your boat be it hired or your own and then they sue you.   

[Andrewcook]

it's like the Horning pub they want Boats to Double Moor up so they can get extra money but for the Convenience of other Boaters trampling over your Boats plus if they have a Skinfull coming back late at night they would ruin my Beauty sleep for sure.

The OPs question was about someone double mooring on a private mooring rather than out on the rivers.

I`m not even sure that the OP`s boat is there at the time that someone else is using the mooring.
