Value added to Freedom Berthing MDL Marinas’ berthing package is already the most comprehensive available on the market and the company has delivered on its commitment to continually add value to Freedom Berthing, with over 90 marinas now part of its cruising network. A further 20 marinas have been added to the network during 2014, giving MDL berth-holders access to even more attractive locations where they can enjoy complimentary berthing across France, Spain, Italy and the UK. This is in addition to other
benefits such as fuel at cost, the most generous boatyard discount and unlimited complimentary WiFi. Chris Brown, a berth-holder
at MDL’s Woolverstone Marina, commented: “Freedom Berthing is a very good package from MDL Marinas that we have enjoyed making use of. We spent three months travelling around France using Passeport Escales
and, unlike other marina operator packages, we had the advantage of not having to double up on costs. With no additional visitor berthing fees to pay at those marinas included in Freedom Berthing on top of our annual fee, this was a huge benefit to us”.
