Drivers Wharf pricing

I've just emailed them but don't expect a reply until Monday. So, in the meantime, can anyone tell me roughly what I'll pay for dry berthing for a 6m RIB?

Looking at all possible options, price and proximity to where I live (Romsey) being the main ones, hence drivers (which I believe without actually knowing the price is probably the cheapest in the area). Also not such a fan of the half hour (and that's when you exceed the speed limit) chug down Portsmouth harbour!

Don't forget you have 20 mins from drivers to dock head at speed limits!

Ten minutes from Trafalgar to QHM (Portsmouth Harbour). But is a longer drive from your home. Drivers is good been there a few times. Beware football matches as gets manic before and after matches.

Even when the footie is in, I always get parked inside drivers site. It's half hour from there down to Solent as well though.

Time for your engine to warm up. And as Biff mentioned they are good people.

Hmm, £2995 a year for unlimited launches. Seems a lot to me! Might just stick with the trailer!
