Looking for a longer stay away? Experience other MDL marinas in the UK by exchanging with fellow Freedom Berthing members at no extra cost.
Exclusive to MDL members, our partnership with Beds on Board, lets you rent your boat to overnight guests and offset the cost of ownership. At MDL we offer a safe and secure service to ensure you get the most out of your boat.
Popping in for lunch or visiting the chandlery? If you are stopping by one of our other UK marinas, your short-stay charge will be waived.
We choose partners whose products and offers are relevant to our members including preferential insurance rates, RYA Active Marina Programmes and RNLI membership.
With flexible contracts, you can suspend or close your annual berthing contract at any time, with just 4 weeks' notice. T&Cs apply.
If you sell or transfer your boat during the term of your berthing / mooring agreement and the new owner wants to keep the boat in the same place, chances are they can. Just settle your accounts and we’ll be pleased to welcome the new owner, with no administration fee to pay.
As a Freedom Berthing member you can permanently move to another MDL marina at any time, as long as there’s a berth free. Just let us know, and we will transfer your remaining credit to the new marina and update your berthing fee to suit.
Earn points and enjoy rewards! To reward our loyal berth holders and visitors in the UK, we’ve introduced Otium Rewards. Earn points every time you purchase MDL services - for every 1 point you earn, we'll rewards you with £1 to spend on any of our services.
If you're a current Freedom Berthing member and would like to switch to Otium, please notify your home marina and they will do the rest. Click here to contact us.
