The Best Spots to Rent or Buy a Berth
-
Have you ever considered renting or purchasing a berth or mooring for your boat? There are several incredible places in Australia and across the globe that you might call home. Marina berths, like houses, may be purchased (or rented!).
We've compiled a list of some of the finest places to moor, along with an estimate of how much it will cost.
Panama's Bocas del Toro
This archipelago is located south of Costa Rica's serene coast, around 160 kilometres from the Panama Canal. This means you'll be able to see Panama City as well as explore the wild and beautiful islands around Gatun Lake. The best Marina Berth in Adelaide!
Long-term dock rentals at Red Frog Marina start at $16 USD per month for a 35 to 50-foot premium dock. A 40 to 50-foot slide will put you back about $70,500 USD. (That's approximately $94,131 Australian dollars.)
Malta's capital is Valletta.
Have you ever seen a Hollywood film set in the Roman or Greek eras? Valletta was most likely chosen as the setting. With magnificent, well-preserved structures and a huge Grand Harbour, the former commercial shipping centre is breathtaking.
Malta is a very exclusive mooring location, and according to internet forums, availability may be scarce. To discover what's available, visit Port Booker, a real-time berth booking engine for ports all around the globe. The best Marina Berth in Adelaide!
Malaysia's George Town
This breathtakingly gorgeous location is well-known for its cuisine. Even the street carts have Michelin stars, ensuring that you will never go hungry or be dissatisfied with your meal. The port was formerly a colonial centre, and there is still considerable English influence.
It now provides access to the Andaman Sea, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and the northern Indonesian coastline for sailors from all over the globe. We were unable to locate figures on the cost of renting or purchasing here, however here is a link to inquire about lease options.
New Zealand's Auckland Harbour
Auckland Harbour is set against a beautiful background of Auckland Cityscape (also known as Waitemata). Many boaters select this Harbour as a launching point for longer South Pacific voyages because the moorings are protected from Pacific squalls.
A 35-foot marina space in Auckland City costs $120,000 NZD ($111,219 AUD), whereas a 12 metre spot in Pine Harbour costs $55,000 NZD ($50,975 AUD).
