- Long term Stay Moorings The Harbour lets annually approximately 200 swinging/fore-and-aft
moorings in the harbour, the five main areas being:
- Buxtons Bight Located at the Northern end of the main run just South of the Lifeboat House, these are swinging moorings and allow maximum sea time during a tide.
- The Run / Ben Taylor's These swinging moorings are on flat sand midway down the main run of the channel and are ideally suited for sailors who want more sea time.
- Sluice Creek Ideally situated in a broad long creek North East of the quayside with good protection from winds in most directions and close to the town and facilities. These moorings are a mix of fore/aft and swinging.
- East Quay These moorings are situated at the Eastern end of the Harbour, North of the boatstore in a very quiet area, not suited for deep drafted vessels.
- Running moorings These moorings are suitable for vessels normally under 16', split between Beach Bank (some availability) and the East End (waiting list at present).
There is a waiting list for all moorings in Wells Harbour.
Mooring application forms are available from the harbour office.
