On Grapevine Lake here in North Texas we pay $1,961 a year. We get water and electricity, with a dock pump out.

There are no facilities available to pull your boat.

The same marina company owns all of the marinas on the lake, so the prices tend to be higher. Lack of competition!

I was thinking about it, we used to pay 2550 for a 25 foot dock at Whiskey Island Marina - right down the street from where we are now. Storage was 500 a year

Membership initiation 4k;
dockage is 880
Dues are 115
Minimum spending is 40 bucks/ month
storage is 440

If you consider that the 40 bucks is going to be spent somewhere regardless, the dock initiation pays for itself over time....not to mention that the clubhouse, restaurant, bar, kids area and picnic area well worth it.

I still like vinings deal

We pay $1600 right on the Chesapeake Bay in a private community, we rent from one of the home owners. It's right above Solomons Island. My job is taking me south and I will be moving my boat to Elizabeth City, NC where I procured a slip for $900/yr. Both include water and courtesy electricty.

Ok I am really going to make you all angry, Our club Windycrest Sailing Club is located on lake Keystone, a 30 min. drive from our front door. Fees for the whole year are as follows. Club membership 500.00 per year, which 250.00 of that can be taken off if you work 1 day on the grounds cleaning up, mowing, cutting back trees, or repairing docks, The slip 10x30 is another 450.00 on top of the membership so the whole year cost 725.00. I also get a discount because I am the Webmaster for the club and keep everything up to date, so I am back down to the 450.00 marker. this includes all of the draft beer I can drink on Sunday after a race, Electrical to the slip, a powerwasher to clean the boat, a 45x100 workshed to park the boat in and work on her, and a great group of members that all sail, NO POWER BOATS. There is a park for the kids, and a great Youth camp twice a year for instruction. We often fly someone from Kolius Sailing, or North U to give a advanced camp every year. It is a Sailing Club owned by all of the members, so everything is very nice and its always being updated.

Sorry had to brag

$1100 a season for a 500# swing mooring in Noank, plus about $1000 for haul, power wash and store for the winter & relaunch in the spring. Toilets, showers, laundry, launch and a pretty good restaurant (the Seahorse,at Spicer's marina, Marsh Rd., Noank, CT).

Just got April's bill from the marina slip fee went up to $8.66 a foot (either length of boat or length of slip whichever is longest). For this we get full power (free), water, a pumpout (which I don't need) and a ship's store. Included in the monthly fee is about $9.00 to the Corps of Engineers - for which we get nothing - and about $7.00 to a bureaucratic outfit called W.O.R.D. responsible for cleanup of the river BELOW the dam - so we get no benefit from this either!
In addition we pay $24.43 monthly dues to the yacht club which is the best bargain on the lake!

I am on the ocean in California - Channel Islands Harbor, Anacapa Isle Marina. My fees just went up to $310 per month, and 5.84 minimum electrical fee. Total 315.84 monthly. We have water and electrical to the slip. Also have a yacht club with a pool, exercise room, banquet room, breakroom, fireplace, TV, kitchen... The restrooms and showers are some of the cleanest I have seen - that is nice! And of course, free java (not Starbucks however!)

Gee Chris if I didn't have it so good where I am I would be tempted to start driving to Tulsa. That sounds like a great setup.

I'm on Lake Tenkiller in northeast Oklahoma on a dock thats been in my family 56 years. There are 4 other families who are part owners including my brother. One couple live in Chicago and come down a couple times a year for their vacations.
Our dues are $800 a year which include a 10x25 covered slip (I have to keep Panacea tied off on the end of the dock) a private room, which you can cusomize however you want, a community kitchen, enclosed, the use of a 25' party barge and a bathroom (actually a 5gal pickle bucket appropriatly named "The Honey Pot"

Like Charlie, I'm on Lake Tenkiller. I pay $136/month for a 40 X 16 slip, includes water, garbage and security. Pay an extra min fee of $5 for electricity, naturally, it's more in the summer.

I was on a moornig buoy 4 years while I waited in line to get my 26ft. double slip on Eagle Creek Reservoir in central Indiana. Double slips run $975 and singles are $1175 for the season (April-November). Our marina is eye candy for a nice indoor/outdoor restaurant that owns and overlooks the boatyard. There's no electric, water, security or pump out, but we do have some really stinky restrooms that flood regularly. The duck and goose poop on the dock is absolutely free! The sad part is... those of us who waited years to get the slip, are extremely happy and grateful to have them. Fair Winds!

Boy, by the sound of all the expensive slips over the country, it makes me glad to say that I live in Oklahoma. Here at Lake Hefner (which is one of the premire sailing lakes in the country because of the wind and elevation it is at with hardly any obstruction around it) I just paid $538 for a 10 x 24 with electricity and access to a pump out. The dry was $120. Both of these were for the WHOLE YEAR! Granted, we are land locked and the scenery never changes, but the sunset are FANTASTIC and you for sure get lots of practice coming about and tacking! But then, isn't that what sailing is all about?

Enjoying every month of it!

Bruce are there temporary slips available at Lake Hefner for trailer sailors? Unfortunately ,Lake Cunningham in Nebraska, is being drained for dredging and my slip has gone away and unsure if it will return. Barry

Barry - Since this is the month for renewals, there are an abundant amount of slips available for trailers or fixed. Bring "Impulse" on down and enjoy some COWBOY hospitality (OSU fans are nicer to Huskers than OU fans are). Even though Hefner is a city water supply, it does have it's shallow areas but is over 80' deep near the dam - and the wind is ALWAYS a blowin!

Bruce - waiting for an Oklahoma sunset!

$ 1050 per year, water and electricity, bathhouse with showers and flush toilets, travel lift, repairs, and winter storage (extra $), walking distance to shops, hardware, and restaurants. Gas and pumpout at the gas dock. And, if there's a crisis (hurricane, etc.), the dockmaster calls me and tells me. It's a twelve mile sail to the Chesapeake. We're blessed.

Paul - at only 20 bucks a month, why would someone not want the double finger? I've never had one, but I could see the convenience being worth 5 bucks a week extra.

Duane - when you've never sailed on anything bigger, it's plenty big for me! See, I'm not in Texas, but I'm right next door!

Duane,
I guess some of the guys with bigger boats don't mind any price for a slip. There are only a limited number of double finger slips. Actually I believe the marina is about full now. I originally paid for a 34 foot slip just to get in. The price kept going up and I finally got the 32 foot single finger I have now, but because there is a transformer by that slip that takes up some space they charge me for a 30 foot slip. That's cool because of the configuration There is a sort of stubby finger on one side, so I can tie off both sides of the boat. Can only get on one side though. I live with it to keep cost down. The savings buys me cordage by the end of the year.

About $1800/year on Leech Lake. Nice small marina, a dozen sailboats and perhaps two dozen motorboats. Water and shore power; shrinkwrap storage in the winter. Clean clubhouse with laundry and a pingpong table; charming little town with good restaurants and an independent bookstore. It's not cheap, but certainly cheaper than property taxes on a lake cabin would be, and I'd rather maintain a boat than a lawn.
