Advice: Sharpness Lockage Fees


Waterway: River Severn »

From 01/01/2008 until further notice

Fees for leisure craft passing through the Sea Lock at Sharpness.
Lockage fee of £25 per boat per lock
Appropriate British Waterways’ licence

Long Term Licence holders (River & Canal or River Only) benefit from a number of inclusive lock passages:
12 Months 16 lock passages
6 Months 8 lock passages

If you hold a long term River Only Licence you will need to upgrade to a Canal & River licence to enter the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal or Gloucester Lock. The charge will be 50% of the Canal & River licence for the period that the upgrade is required. (Note you still benefit from the Long Term licence holder inclusive lock passages.)

Concessions on lockage fees are given to block bookings subject to the group entering and leaving Sharpness on the same tide and a single payment for the group to cover both licensing and lockage charges. Please contact our customer service staff for details on 01452 318000.
