I have a berth in a premier marina, and their about to raise their prices! why now! where is the money going to come from? this goes out to all Marina owners!

(1) Boat owners are finding it hard with fuel prices going up!
(2) the service is definately not 5* or premier,
(3) their fuel at cost is more expensive than the local petrol stations just around the corner.
These marina owners know that if you have a boat you are stuck with it, all whats going to happen is that these Marina owners will price every boat owner out of the market, that will mean more empty berths, less money for the marinas, wouldnt it make sence to look after the already struggling boat owners in a difficult time! the marinas will be the ones loosing out! Ltes face it you are paying just to tie a rope around a clete fixed to a floating plank! how expensive is that? the other services you are paying are not that great anyway,
Please reply to your thoughts on this subject im sure im not the only one with this problem.

I find the staff at premier fantastic, agree that berth prices are expensive for those who are now struggling to find the money.
but otherwise general service is fine.

Please can we keep this civil…? I am sure not all of the staff at Premier Marinas are all the same. Also, you are stepping into the spam puddle here – please, we are happy for you to promote your business but lets not make the forum an advertisers haven.
