Boating is fun, but expensive. Doing it alone is costly. Joining the MVS offers a unique and enjoyable way to get involved with the local maritime scene for a fraction of the cost.

We offer four categories of membership, depending on your circumstances. The vast majority of members will be allocated to List A.
List A: Operational Member
You will be receive full access to our vessels and have the opportunity to participate in all training sessions, both ashore and afloat.
List B: Professional & Technical
Aimed at people with prior boating experience, or have been involved with other similar organisations in the past who wanted to offer their skills and knowledge.
List O: Operational Support
For those who would like to offer their active support to the operation of the Unit, but may not wish, or are unable to participate in the boating element.
List S: Supporters & Friends
For people who would like to play a part in the administration of the Unit, by way of publicity or fundraising, but without the practical elements.
