Home Renewals
We recommend renewing your berth online — it’s quick, easy, and eco-friendly. If we have your email address, you’ll receive an invitation to renew and make your payment securely online. Otherwise, we’ll send your renewal documents via post, along with a pre-paid envelope to return your completed agreement. To switch to email renewal, simply update your preferences in your MyMDL account.
After renewing, you can view your documents anytime in your MyMDL account, where you can also update your profile, book services, check your Otium points balance, and explore where to spend them. Your login details are in your renewal email, or if you received your renewal by post, contact your home marina for assistance.
After a comprehensive review of our offerings, we’ve evolved Freedom Berthing into our Platinum Package. While Freedom Berthing has not been available to new customers since September 2020, this transition allows us to streamline our product range and enhance your experience. With the Platinum Package, you’ll continue to enjoy many of the same benefits, including complimentary visitor berthing, along with exciting new rewards. Discover more about the Platinum Package here.
You now have access to our Otium Rewards points scheme, which offers even greater value. You can earn up to 15% back in points on fuel and up to 22% back on boatyard services. This means you not only enjoy long-term savings but also have the flexibility to use your accumulated points to pay for these services, as well as next year’s renewal and more. Additionally, you will benefit from complimentary visitor berthing across the UK, France, Spain, and Portugal.
We regularly review our annual berthing prices and packages, ensuring that any changes are communicated to our customers well in advance of their renewal. Although inflation has stabilised, operational costs continue to rise — including utilities, maintenance, and insurance. As a result, our annual berthing fees for 2025 will see a modest increase. We have worked hard to keep the increase minimal, balancing the need to cover these rising costs while continuing to invest in our marinas to ensure you have the best possible experience.
We invest millions annually to ensure that our 18 UK marinas offer the best facilities both on and off the water. In 2024 alone, we committed over £17 million, and plan to invest £40 million over the next five years to improve your marina experience. Additionally, through Otium we’re adding more value, allowing you to use points towards your berth renewal and electricity payments, helping to reduce your bills. Plus, we partner with local tenants to bring you exclusive offers. Be sure to check the member benefits section of MyMDL regularly for the latest deals.
