Marinas join forces to launch new visitor mooring scheme
FIVE independent family run marinas are joining forces in 2024 to offer a new inland waterway scheme.
This will give boaters the opportunity to enjoy a new discounted visitor mooring scheme—Cruise Moor.
Launched in February
The Cruise Moor scheme, which will be launched in February at Boatlife in Brimingham sees Aqueduct Marina, Droitwich Spa Marina, Dunchurch Pools Marina, Overwater Marina and White Mills Marina (pictured) collaborate to provide moorers with the unique opportunity of staying on each of the marinas on a visitor mooring for up to two weeks with a 20% discount.
It is hoped the new initiative will not only encourage more boaters to explore the inland waterways network but enable them to enjoy the facilities and personal service offered by what is called the ‘fabulous five’ independent marinas, with the spokesperson for Cruise Moor, Robert Parton of Aqueduct Marina (pictured) explaining:
Get out and about
“All of the five marinas involved in Cruise Moor share the same aspirations of encouraging boaters to get out and about and explore the miles and miles of the beautiful waterways network.
"As family run marinas we work incredibly hard to be the best in the business and go the extra mile to provide excellent customer service. It is a terrific scheme and a wonderful opportunity for us all to showcase our marinas to each other’s moorers, we are all looking forward to watch it develop over the coming months.”
Boaters can find out how to qualify for a Cruise Moor card from one of the participating marinas and then plan their cruising season in the knowledge that they can enjoy the facilities of another independent marina with a 20% reduction in visitor mooring fees.
