<img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2dc07b3127cce9c9c77acfba50000005410" border=0> Just found a new slip for Wind Lass. Places are getting far and few between here as several marinas are closing and waterfront development pushes out the recreational boaters. In the back ground you can see the new Chilhulie gass museum. Adjacent to it to the right is a new hotel. New condo developments along the waterway and new state DNR rules. Wishing I had a swing keel. Slip fee 180$ a month with no power.

$180 a month sounds like a steal to me... Try $2500 (with power and water) for a season....Which if your Lucky is May to October

$2,500 for May through October? That would probably put an end to my sailing. It's unbelievably cheap down here. I pay $200 a year for membership to a private club, and $25 a month for my slip. The clubhouse and facilities are quite nice. I keep my slip here year round, and usually rent a slip just for the summer in Pensacola.

Here in northern California, my lake slip is $700.00 per year with no power/water, but that includes storage of the trailer and use of all facilities. Next year I'll put the c250 in sanFrancisco bay, and the marina I'm looking at is about $ 1,500 annually with power and water, and great launch and support/ repair/ and resturant services. There seems quite a disparity of fees all across the country. WOW

Hey Doug,
You could moor your boat here in Olympia. Swantown has nice facilities (laundry and showers), water and power at the slip for about $160 a month.

On the middle Chesapeake I'm paying $1800/year including water & power hookup (we pay the power approx. $20/mo). There are both cheaper & more expensive marinas around - we pay a little more to have a pool at the marina (very nice on those HOT August days when there are too many jellyfish to swim in the Bay).

Steve,
That isn't even private. Plus storage is another 400....Although, I co-own the boat so everything is half price.

The cheapest private club's initiation is 4000, plus 60 a month in dues and another 30 a month in food and bar... dockage is around 1500 including storage for the winter.(If you can get a slip)...The kicker is that since I co-own the boat, Harvey would have to join too in order for us to put the boat there. Ironically, If we joined over time we would save money...I just have better things to do with 4000 grand right now (like pay off the wedding).

One note, we do not have to pay for the water or electricity per unit, it is not metered...you could run an A/C machine all summer long and not have to worry.

Just for reference, on SF Bay, I keep my C27 in a 30' slip for $158 a month including power and water at Richmond Marina Bay - I just bought the boat there and was planning to move it but have found this marina to be a great place and pretty cheap for the area so am leaving it there.

I'm amazed at the variation in price around the Country - almost as bad as Country Clubs!
Here on Canyon Lake I pay (including all the government taxes - 3 different ones) $213.95 a month. This includes power and water.
Our Yacht Club initiation fee is $75 and our monthly dues $20 - best darn value on the lake!

Keep your voices down out there. The new owners of the marina I'm in might hear you.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Last year the fees for a single slip with power (sometimes) and potable water was $110/month. If you paid for the full year in January you could get one month free. The new owners just raised the monthly fee to $120/month and no full payment discount. I will share the range of fees I've read here with my neighbors to stop the complaining. On the other hand if we don't complain the new owners may think that they aren't charging enough.

I am amazed at the variation in the same state. Duane says he pays $2500/season. Here at the bottom of the state (actually just over the border into Indiana) I pay $350/season for my mooring and will probably move up to a slip with water and power for $550.00/season next year. Duane does get to sail on a bigger lake.

I live in Westport CT. Our municipal marina which is very nice having concrete docks, power and water is $1060 for April 1 to November 30. That is a very good deal in this area. The waiting list is about 20 years to get in.

A 20 year waiting list to get in! You gotta be kidding me. This system only seems fair to the people who already have a lifetime slip. The municipal marina that I'm moored at has a lottery in the fall to determine who gets a slip for the next season. Those who do not get picked in the lottery are then put on a list and as slips become available they are notified. Even when I was on the waiting list, my longest wait was only a couple of weeks which is a whole lot better than 20 years. This lottery system appears to be the fairest to everyone.

I just paid for my new slip in St Marys, GA...150.00/month for a rickety, rusty, falling apart marina without any facilities (no showers, restrooms, or staff) and a 5 to 6 knot current. Most of the other boats are rotting away in their slips. I have to go pull all the rusty nails out of the dock so I don't chip my hull before I dock for the first time. I'll probably end up moving my boat to Amelia Island, FL 30 minutes away for twice the amount, but with modern slips and facilities, and people that use their boats.
