A marine swing mooring capable of anchoring marine crafts, the swing mooring comprising a single mooring element constructed to be coupled to an anchor so as to allow the mooring element to swing about the anchor. The mooring element comprises a floating body having a wide leading end and a narrower elongated trailing end. At least part of the element provides a spacer for separating the marine crafts attached to the mooring. The mooring element causes the marine crafts to swing in unison responsive to wind or current direction whilst the spacer keeps said marine crafts separated from mutual contact. The floating body of the mooring element includes at least one side recess which accommodates at least part of a length of a marine craft attached to the mooring element.
