Yacht stations and staffed moorings
The Broads Authority runs yacht stations at Norwich and Great Yarmouth. These are staffed daily during the main season from March until November.
We also have staff at Reedham Quay and Ranworth Staithe from 9am to 6pm during the main season.
Our Yacht Stations are closed outside of this period and so mooring is prohibited in the winter period.
The summer season ended on 03 November 2024, Yacht Stations are now closed for the winter months (meaning they are no longer staffed) and Ranworth Staithe has reverted to being a free 24-hour mooring. We look forward to the summer 2025 season which will begin on 1 April 2025.
