For 35 years, Triangle has helped boat owners navigate the often time-consuming world of securing a suitable marina berth. Whether sourcing an annual berth on the UK’s South Coast or identifying long-lease opportunities across Europe, the company focuses on providing independent, efficient and personalised advice.
Making Berth Sourcing Simple
The core of the Triangle business remains unchanged since day one: to save boat owners time and hassle. Instead of contacting multiple marinas and sitting through lengthy sales pitches, clients can rely on Triangle Berth Brokers to gather accurate berthing availability, pricing and options. Helping them to compare all berthing solutions together.
The boating world is full of people who are passionate about being on the water, but many are time-poor. Our job is to make securing a berth as quick and straightforward as possible.
Nic Parton Managing Director at Triangle Berth BrokersSupporting Owners Across Europe
In recent years, Triangle has seen growing demand from clients seeking advice on relocating to Mediterranean marinas. While Greece remains a favourite among British boat owners, enquiries for Montenegro, Portugal, Spain and Turkey have increased significantly.
Drawing on more than three decades of marine industry knowledge, the team helps clients choose marinas that suit their cruising plans, budget and lifestyle. Whether they’re looking for an annual rental or a long-term lease.
Long Lease Berths in the UK and Europe
Triangle Berth Brokers specialises in the sale of long-lease berths and provides impartial guidance for those considering them as an investment or long-term mooring solution.
Long-lease berths first appeared in the late 1960s and were quickly snapped up by owners who recognised their value. Today, many remain a “best-kept secret”, often changing hands through experts like Triangle.
Buying a long-lease berth is much like purchasing a piece of property. You make an initial investment, pay an annual service fee, and enjoy the security of a guaranteed berth. Over time, the savings compared to annual fees can be substantial.
Nic PartonIn Europe, particularly in the Côte d’Azur and the Balearics, berth leasing is the dominant model. In high-demand locations, such as Palma, buying a berth is often the only way to secure a space in a marina. With several major long leases in the South of France due to expire in the coming years, Nic notes that now is an ideal time for early enquiries.
Owners also often benefit from the option to sublet their berth, helping offset costs during periods when they’re not using their boat or are cruising further afield.
35 Years of Trusted Expertise
“Triangle Berth Brokers has spent 35 years building contacts, knowledge and a reputation for making the process of finding or buying a berth as smooth as possible,” Nic says. “There’s no extra cost to boat owners. Our fees are covered by the berth owners or marinas we choose to work with.”
