Following on from this the CHA has recognised the need for identification of these craft and consequently, a form has been drawn up for the registration and payment which is available ONLY through the CHA Website: www.crouchharbour.uk
The fee is £5 for one vessel or £10 for two or more vessels.
Vessels owned and registered to established Clubs and used solely for training purposes are exempt, but the craft will need to be identified with the Club’s ID and Postcode.
To register and make a payment please use the link provided below:

We have received recent enquiries from families who own canoes seeking to join the club. We have a dedicated storage area for canoes, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. In addition to your family membership you pay a single boat registration fee to store all of your canoes etc.
